Fed's James Bullard at the National Association for Business Economics conference

  • Continued accommodation is insurance against risks
  • FOMC has met its goals as well as any time since 1960
  • Challenges are not significantly robust to guide policy
  • Fed will still be exceptionally accommodative even with hikes
  • Strict inflation targeting doesn't justify zero rates
  • Fed should react separately or distinctly to global developments
  • Normalisation goals have arguably been met

Pretty much the standard Bullard fare and nothing for the market to trade on
