• The Fed’s range is 2.4-2.9%
  • He expects 2.75% growth next year
  • Expects inflation close to 2% this year
  • Day of Fed tightening “is still far off”
  • A long way to go on jobs, expects unemployment at 8% at year-end
  • Worried about govt fiscal policy

Nothing new there. I’m hoping for some comments about the fall in the participation rate when he answers questions from the media and audience.
