Bostic in a slow walk-back from ultra-easy policy?

  • Changes possible if economy recovers faster
  • Not ruling out a return to unemployment as low as 3.7%
  • Any changes in bond buying would need strong moves in unemployment, inflation and virus control
  • Not 'super concerned' about rise in 10-year rates, not something the Fed needs to react to

Bostic is a voter this year and there is a clear pattern now of officials sounding less dovish and open to tightening measures late this year.
