Fresh comments from FED's Bullard did not provide much support for USD:
-
Growth in Q4 will be stronger than expected
-
The economic outlook is better than assessed just a few weeks ago
-
It is good that inflation is falling, but it remains too high
-
Inflation will fall thanks to the monetary policy that is currently appropriate
-
It is difficult to assess how the unemployment rate is expected to rise from current levels, the labor market is extremely strong
-
To avoid the 1970s scenario, Fed must maintain rates at high enough levels to make sure inflation moves down
-
Interest rates must be raised above 5% - as soon as possible
-
There's possibly too much optimism that inflation will come easily back to 2%
EURUSD does not react to Bullard comments, as he is known for his hawkish approach. Main currency pair oscillates slightly below session highs around 1.0840. Source: xStation5
