Another spurt for the USD

Bullard comments are being reported, but they are not that USD bullish ...

  • Says US price level has begun to deviate noticeably from expected path under 2-pct inflation target
  • Deviation from price-level path is not as bad as Japan's case, but is worrisome
  • Repeats view that Fed's expected rate hike path is overly aggressive
