Kashkari, appearing on the CBS program "Face the Nation," offered his views on the economic impact of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's campaign promise to deport immigrants who are in the United States unlawfully. "If you just assume people are working - either working in farms or working in factories - and those businesses now lose employees, that would probably cause some disruption," Kashkari said.

A reassuring economic outlook from the Federal Reserve, which delivered a widely expected 25 basis point rate cut on Thursday, also helped boost sentiment.
