Meanwhile, U.S. in�ation is running well above the FOMC’s target. Current U.S. monetary policy is set at peak accommodation, which is putting upward pressure on in�ation, Bullard said. “This situation calls for rapid withdrawal of policy accommodation in order to preserve the best chance for a long and durable expansion,” he added.
