Fed's Kashkari: NFP report validates Fed's outcome-based approach

The latest Nonfarm Payrolls report, which showed that the US added only 266,000 jobs in April, validates the Federal Reserve's outcome-based approach to policy, Minneapolis Federal Reserve President Neel Kashkari told Bloomberg TV on Friday.

"I'm confident pricing pressures will be transitory," Kashkari further added.

Market reaction
