More from Jeffrey Lacker

  • Looks like US is on track to return to 2% inflation
  • I don't see low inflation warranting more QE
  • Need to take the market volatility seriously
  • Too soon to say whether this market vol will affect the outlook
  • So far there's been no strong evidence to shift my rate outlook
  • Growth will continue around 2%
  • The labour market is tightening and that's reflecting strength

Spin those numbers. You wait until the core CPI is at 3% and they'll all be speaking about the headline being lower and more important for the target.
