Bullard on the Fed's independence

  • The President can comment on monetary policy but it's up to the Fed to take the best action

  • Expects Trump to weigh in again but doesn't change the Fed's mandate

  • Trump is just one more voice in currency debate

  • US economy looks very good

  • Escalating trade war could be risk to US economy

  • Not surprised by Trump's comments

Expect some similar stuff in the week ahead. Fed members love to talk about their independence.
