- Inflation is the key spot we’ve missed on our mandate and that’s where we should be focused
- If we get improvement on inflation, back into the range of our dual mandate, then we have more-symmetric concerns
- We don’t debate on specific policies for the future, that’s not how the Fed works

- Far be it from me to get into the head of what the market is thinking
- We don’t choose our actions based on how we think markets will react
- I don’t know if markets have gone too far
- The market based projection of rates is greater than the SEP
