Bullard puts the Awk in Hawk - If he's 'only' looking for 5.375%, Mr Market is WAYYYYY too hawkish
Fed's Bullard on the Wires:
U.S. ECONOMY IS STRONGER THAN WHAT WE PREVIOUSLY THOUGHT
FED WILL HAVE TO GO NORTH OF 5% TO TAME INFLATION
WE'VE GOT A LITTLE WAYS TO GO
STILL THINK WE CAN GET INFLATION DOWN WHILE MAINTAINING A STRONG LABOR MARKET
STILL IN A LOW PRODUCTIVITY GROWTH REGIME
FED SHOULD ONLY SLOW DOWN ONCE IT'S GOT TO THE TERMINAL RATE
MARKETS MAY BE OVERPRICING RISK OF RECESSION IN 2023
I FORECAST MODERATELY SLOW GROWTH THIS YEAR WITH INFLATION DECLINING
IF IT DOESN'T THEN WE WILL HAVE TO ACT
THAT'S WHY FED NEEDS TO BE SHARP NOW AND GET INFLATION UNDER CONTROL THIS YEAR
THIS IS THE AGE OF FORWARD GUIDANCE, SO ECONOMIC LAGS ARGUMENTS MAKE LESS SENSE NOW
