James Bullard, President of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, spoke on Saturday on the economy and monetary policy:
Said he wanted to vote for a rate hike at this week's Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC)
(Note, while Bullard took part in the discussion and debate he doesn't have a vote on the committee this year. He does get a vote in 2016 when he'll have the opportunity to put our money where his mouth his.)
- "The case for policy normalization is quite strong, since Committee objectives have essentially been met"
- "I argued against the decision at the FOMC meeting"
Bloomberg and Reuters have more, and I expect they'll be updated too. I'll check back a little later.
