Fed’s Bullard: Inflation expectations have grown but remain a bit low
In a scheduled appearance at the 29th Annual Economic Outlook Conference, Gatton College of Business and Economics, University of Kentucky, Lexington, Ky., St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said:
• Today’s monetary policy is closer to neutral
• Inflation expectations have grown but ‘remain a bit low’
• To watch investment boom closely, say it is not his base case
• Inflation, job market link has broken down
• Friday’s jobs report was ‘good’
Bullard, however, refrained from making any comments on the recent turmoil in the equity markets.
