Federal Reserve St. Louis head James Bullard on Bloomberg TV
- Trade talks creating more uncertainty in economy
- Difficult to see if too much will change after the talks
- Rise of euro-skeptic parties in Italy is an issue
- not at crisis levels with problems in Italy
- Fed already at neutral interest rate … need to be careful about turing to restrictive mode
- Inflation would need to surprise to the upside for hikes
- risk of yield curve inversion must be taken seriously
more to come
ps. these are Bullard's own views, K?
Part of the conditions on speaking as a Fed President is speaking on your own views and not those of others at the FOMC/Fed
