Bullard Kickstarts Reflation Unwind Theme

US TSYS SUMMARY
After some early chop w/Tsys and equities reversing late overnight gains, comments from StL Fed pres Bullard on CNBC kickstarted a more hawkish take on FOMC: Bullard DOTS sees liftoff in late 2022, sees Chairman Powell's presser as officially opening the discussion on tapering. Bullard also concerned about feeding into "housing froth", while "leaning toward idea Fed may not need to be in MBS." (MN Fed Kashkari, dove downplayed late: no hike until after 2023).
