Fed’s Bullard Awaiting Stronger Data in US to Justify

Share Print 0

The U.S. Federal Reserve can go it alone on monetary policy among global central banks but strong data is needed for that to continue, St. Louis Federal Reserve chief James Bullard said on Thursday.

“The U.S. is kind of trying to go it alone… which we can do and we certainly have done historically,” Bullard told an event in London.



“But if you want to go it alone in this environment you have to really have data that’s coming in strong behind you and justifying what you want to do.”
