Comments from St Louis Fed President Bullard

  • Low rates amid 'boom time' assets sets stage for bubbles over next 2-3 years
  • Concerned low-yield markets will 'wake up', abruptly reprice Fed hikes
  • Yellen's view not far from median Fed expectations for rate rises
  • Asset prices to potentially play bigger role in Fed policy

Bullard putting words into Yellen's mouth. That's a dangerous game. And there's no way the Fed would ever have the courage to raise rates to fight asset prices.

I'm starting to get the feeling Bullard is a bit delusional.

He spoke with Reuters in an interview.
