Williams:
- Fall in inflation reflects ‘normal volatility’
- Trimmed mean inflation not trending up or down
- Has more confidence in his outlook for moderate growth
- Near term risks to growth have receded
- We are in the right place in terms of policy
- Labor market should support inflation returning to 2%, no sign of inflation pressure
- Expects sustainable growth of 2.25% GDP growth in 2019
- Says he is seeing more positive readings on China’s economy due to gov’t efforts
- Trade tensions and Brexit uncertainty are downside risks
Bostic:
- FOMC officials all in the same mindset on patience on rates
- Still see one rate hike in 2019 but willing to be patient
- Fed may need new policy calculus if tariffs prolonged
- Will wait and see how businesses respond on tariffs
- Don’t see inflation now decelerating away from goal
- If inflation expectations anchored, may need action
