Comments from Clarida on Bloomberg TV

  • Fed expects to keep rates lower for longer
  • Judgement on any inflation overshoot will be made closer to the time
  • US needs to spend 'some time' with inflation above 2% to offset time spent below it
  • US should see a "pretty impressive" return of low unemployment
  • Overshooting of inflation an "academic point" until economy recovers
  • Additional fiscal support will likely be needed for US recovery

This is taking on a dovish tone because of some of the things said yesterday but these comments are watering down the forward guidance.
