leader and as strong as well you know he's really coming on strong and representing europe well i think the u.s. is clueless made quite a few applied some pressure shall we say gates companies involved in all of stream today warning of consequences if they continue to do so i mean how much leverage do you think motions and does have to have against the project well they're obviously going to try to. you know threaten the sanctions but if. you know perhaps there's ways there's mechanisms to work around the sanctions. but then they'll threaten some more i think this whole thing in the. what what the u.s. is actually doing is it pushing away their own allies it's further alienating the u.s. and i and i just don't think our our policy leaders are waking up and seeing what they're doing and basically destroying the partnerships that we have with the and it's not just nordstrom to i mean there's there's distances across on trade policy as well as the iran nuclear deal the g. scipio a and just the whole backing out of international agreement is a huge area and i think europe would like to come

strong job growth, strong income growth has been driving strong consumption growth. we saw that in november. you had this weakening in december in this one report so i governor e with brainerd that you have to take it seriously. msbut in t of is it telling us something really different about the strength of the consumer? i don't think we can conclude that, at least not everything else we're seeing is sending a message of strength. here are some special facto here. the shutdown which happened in equity so we're keeping a fairly optimistic view on growth. it's been a strong economy. it doesn't change our view. >> it doesn't change your base case scenario. does it c nge what you thin the fed will or will not do in the future based on this data point? >> so i think the good place at the fed is i right now is they have already clearly signalled that they're on pause probablyth at least fo first half of this year. reportly after this data you want to wait. you want to wait for some of this delayed data to comeack and see where the consumer is, where the economy is. gn the

strong cash flows and strong dividend yields. >> yeah.m relatively attractive qula you haven't seen on oil is a meaningful change in the outward strip and really stayed around this mid-50 level and for them to really work you need to see the prints higher. the other thing i would just -- to sara's point of inflation expectations at the top is seeing oil really move higher and see inflation expectations which are very core lated to oil price move a lot higher you will see the fed get more active. >> this fed seems to be focused on inflation as a reason to pause than the other side. >> that has to be the trigger. right? >> michael - >> thanks. >> we're both so happy to have you. >> very gradeful. >> one, two, three, thank you. i meant it sara didn't. >> i did. >>> state of the union pushing u.s. concrete higher what's the story here? >> early briefings of president trump's state of the union address next tuesday is set to call on congress to send him an infrastructure bill. the president reportedly will offer a specific figure on how large

we're not making a judgment, we don'tster a strong prior -- we don't have a strong prior. we will patiently wait and let the data clarify. some of the cross currents that are referred to may be with us for a while. and i think we'll be looking at seeing those clear up as it relate -- as they relate to the outlook for the u.s. that will be an important aspect as well. your second question was -- reporter: not just the cessation of those cross currents but the end of these muted inflation pressures, are they both sort of things that are necessary for ou to change -- [inaudible] -- mr. powell: it's really hard to speak about generalities. we'll be looking at everything but i do think that muted inflation pressures, you know, you would want -- i would want to see a need for further rate increases and for me a big part of that would be inflation. it would be the only thing -- it wouldn't be the only thing, but it would certainly be important. reporter: mr. chairman, did the committee discuss an actual change to the runoff policy or the runoff schedule right now? if so, if not -

low inflation, strong growth. you can't do much better than that. >> was there anything in the report that you would have liked to have seen a little stronger or anything that you think missed the mark? >> no. i think the report was right. there were a lot of distortions in there due to the tutdown. onng that i would add on a positive note here is last year s had a veryong economy, but companies had trouble filling jobs a so there wer lot of very high job openings, record level. one reason the job market haso much momentum is even with lower growth, they need to hire. and so this job market is going to remainnretty strong e as the economy continues to weaken going forward. so i guess i didn't give you a good negative story there. there's a lot of positive here. >> if there's nothing negative about it, tn that's the story. but what about this slowing economy. isn't it true,th gh, that job growth is usually a lat cycle grower? usually employe don't hire anybody anticipating growth, they're waiting to see the growth
