FED: Q: What urgency in returning to 2% infl target, given SEP?
A: Current stance appropriate. We're using emergency tools, have asset purchases
and won't go lower on those. Prepared to adjust, rates are at lower bound.
- May jobs report good illustration of how uncertain times are. Economy is
re-opening and we will learn a lot about the path of the economy in incoming
months. That's really what we're looking for.
- We never got to 2% symmetric goal, have to be humble; unemp above NAIRU.
- May employment report was  welcome surprise and very pleased, hope to get more
like it, but it's a long run, it will take some time.
