Fed’s Bullard: Continued rate increases would “lock in” slowing inflation
The St. Louis Federal Reserve's James Bullard has crossed the wires and stated that the market-based expectations of inflation are "now relatively low" and that the economy is growing faster than previously thought with unemployment below the long-run rate and output above its potential.
