NY Fed head still speaking in China at PBOC symposium

  • weakening inflation expectations are a concern
  • one month of inflation doesn't make a trend
  • China doing a good job pointing growth toward consumption
  • optimistic that China's economic transition can be managed
  • USD appreciation well justified by economic cycle
  • not realistic to expect central banks to give forward guidance on moves
  • central bank communication should be as clear as possible

Given that the fwd guidance by Fed and BOE amongst others has been rubbish thus far those last comments are a bit rich.

Eamonn had earlier comments from Dudley here
