MNI BRIEF: Bullard Says Too Soon To Talk About Taper Timing

(MNI)

St. Louis Fed President James Bullard told reporters Thursday it's too soon to talk about when the Fed might start to reduce the pace of its bond buys.

"I don't think it's prudent to talk about when we're going to make a decision because there's just too much uncertainty," Bullard said, despite offering an optimistic outlook for the economy in a presentation preceding the press call.

"It's too soon to try to pin down dates on this."
