St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said “with respect to the (monetary policy) normalization, we have already reached a point when policy rates are in a good position.” And he suggested that Fed policymakers “don’t need to do much more to normalize policy.”
Separately, he also welcomed the USMCA North America trade agreement. He said “this is very good news, because it shows that despite the ups and down of negotiations, you can reach a conclusion …on trade relations.” And he hope the US “can get deals like this elsewhere and we might get the uncertainty down on this issue.”
