• The Fed’s Bullard says $4/gallon gasoline is not impeding consumers but $5/gallon would alter consumer plans
  • He’s ‘a bit concerned’ about rising energy prices
  • He said the Fed never takes anything off the table in terms of policy
  • He sees an “inflationary risk” from the ECB balance sheet program (look in the mirror, buddy)
  • Says the US could weather a moderate European recession
  • Recent data better than expected
  • Sees “tentative signs of improvement” in US housing, will be slow

He was on BNN TV. First time I think I’ve ever seen them interview a current Fed member.
