最新报道:According to a report from Bijie.com, former St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said on Monday that he spoke with U.S. Treasury Secretary Bensonte last week about the Fed chairmanship and expressed strong interest in the position if the conditions were right. Bullard, currently dean of the Mitch Daniels School of Business at Purdue University, led the St. Louis Fed from 2008 to 2023. "I'd take the job if we were positioned for success," Bullard said. "Success means defending the dollar's status as a reserve currency, maintaining low and stable inflation, and protecting the independence of the Federal Reserve." Bullard said he expects the FOMC to cut interest rates by 25 basis points and signal further easing, believing the market's expectation of a cumulative 75 basis points of rate cuts by the end of the year is reasonable. Bullard also expressed support for the temporary nature of tariffs and inflation and expressed support for Fed Governor Tim Cook, who is currently facing dismissal controversy.
