but the fed is a shining island. jay powell was an excellent appointment, rich clarida is an excellent appointment. the president has shown no overnation to send incompetent people with wild ideas to the federal reserve, although he has done that with many, many agencies of government. indeed, in many agencies of government, he has sent people that seem to have a mission to destroy the agency. when he has done with fed nominations is completely different from that. it has led people like me to applaud the decisions that we just hope it will keep up. there are more vacancies to be filled. caroline: would you applaud the views we have heard already in the statement was released ahead of time by richard clarida saying that you would see a balanced approach in terms of the dual focus of the fed but also in terms of banking reform? he seems to be a supporter of the reforms put in place since the financial crisis. in your book to you mentioned how those reforms help the banks but not the homeowners. do you think there shou

about doing too much, too fast if you think about where -- >> this is a new fed, not the yellen fed think the fed is probably focused on a couple things we don't talk about they need to focus on credit spreads which haven't really given a lot of ground. that sounds like it should be -- that's a good thing, but i think the fed wants to see commensurate move also not just what we are seeing in rates but in credit spreads to feel like something's happening here >> john, jump in >> one thing i would say is the fed's interested in keeping the cycle going. the fed has no interest in ending the business cycle prematurely. this idea they want to put arrows in the quiver may be there but that's a second order of consideration the first order of consideration is not to make a policy mistake. don't do anything overaggressive or rash. and as long as inflation is below 2% there's no reason for them to be more aggressive here. we think the market's pricing a lot of fed for this year, it's pricing more for next year and given the backdrop, we think that's about enough. >> pricing in a lot of fed m

in otherin other words, 2% is ne ceiling for the fund, the fed ling for the- cei fed, the fed could lett drift above 2%. it noted consumer spending was moderate. it was a somewhat weaker than the first quarter, but they also ling for thsee stronger business investment. they also see stronger job growth. a lot of people sees on the fact seesthe fed says it inflation expectations unchanged. you can see it tracking crude oil. at the top of the chart, you can see they have leveled out. what is compelling about that chart is inflation expectations moving up just because of oil prices, maybe the fed looks past that. maybe that is something they are not too concerned about. think bottom line. everyone thinks they will hike the key rate in june. they think inflation will stay around 2%. 4% another hike on, do instead of 3% this year --that is what they are continuing to debate. let's hear senior fellow at the institution at stanford university. you have been watching this for a long time. what do you make of -- what is the fed trying to tell us by "symmetric?"rd >> they are trying to say they w

one thing that caught people's argument particularly if you are is the facthe fed, the fed it knowledgedhat inflation expectation has not risen. they are steady. another gtv the chart and the get an interesting comparison we put together, the connect inflation expectations to break even and had they are tracking crude oil. the five-year breakevens are in step with crude oil. if the fed sees that, it has number off lately, and two, any kind of change in inflation that is past memory by oil prices may discount, because all prices have moved up. we know the oil prices can move done quickly as well and that is one thing that may look past. one of the bond teams of the world was on bloomberg television earlier and said this focus on inflation is not new. period.llen talk about exceeding. inflation over a certain he said he doesn't expect one more rate hike, let's is in to what bill said earlier on bloomberg tv. if the fed moves significantly higher, i expect a john wright type, i don't expect to or three or four or six power forward. i don't think they could do that. a note was written after

the fed did nothing, as expected.gave no indication that it will hold live meetings for every meeting, so what does this do for your projection on what it does next? ira: it does not change much. we knew they had to say something on inflation because we are very close to the inflation target, where they want to be commanded they may have let it slip a little bit, but as the chair said in a speech not long ago, he said we will not make this or let inflation run away from us, and stay way above our target just because it has been running below for a long time. tom: what is your experience of the fiscal impulse monetary theorists will have to look at? your world is one chapter, chapter 23, and nobody ever reads it. they cross it out on the exam. tell us about your world linked into fed phd's. ira: the fiscal stood less has not hit yet. we certainly had people with more money in their pockets, but disposable income is rising and we will have more of a fiscal impulse going forward. one of the interesting things about it is

here is what the fed had to say. overall inflation and inflation for items other than food and energy continue to run below 2%. they cannot say that again. stephanie: they are going to be trying hard not to change the statement much, because if you are the fed, you are looking at a situation where the market is expecting that rate rise in june and maybe a couple more for the rest of the year. they are in quite a nice spot in terms of managing expectations and they do not want people to run away with the idea that they will go much faster. there is nothing in the numbers where they -- there is a sign of a real upward push, particularly wage pressures. that might concern them over the long-term. they might have quite a debate internally that we hear about with the minutes. in terms of the statement, we are not expecting much change. david: what sort of risks could they talk about? they cannot blame it on inflation. marty: there are some hiccups in the economy i think the fed may want to be looking at, shortages of labo

>> if determined by the fed, yes. i do think that that could be appropriate in some circumstances. >> so in essence we can say the fed really can step in at any point and say we don't like board members. we can supercede shareholders and put pressure to have them fired is what you're saying today? >> the -- the law, for example, would not allow the shareholders to, you know, elect people who have committed certain crimes from being board directors, and if they did, it would be appropriate for the federal reserve to say that's not an appropriate director. i think -- i really am on your side on this. i think that that should be something that's extremely rare. >> i think this is something you need to take it a look at, it's concerning, the fed's role here. and i think if you take some time we'll be on the same page on this issue. >> exactly. i want to look to examiners in their exams asking questions of financial institutions about their lobbying efforts. would that concern you? is that a proper role of the fed to ask q

what is the risk in fed move? rateshink global interest are still low and i think we have to keep that in mind and so what's normal today is lower than what it has been in the past and people have been talking about this for quite a while. we can't lose sight of that. it seems to me of all the cautions the most urgent one is yield curve flattening. you said that it is getting close to crunch time on the yield curve. it could actually invert relatively soon. what is driving it and why is it happening? >> if the effect goes up three times threat the rest of this year you have to ask yourself is the 10-year really going to go up that much in that timeframe. if it doesn't we are going to have an inverted yield curve later this year or early in 2019. timedo think it is crunch for this. those that are more sanguine on this issue feel like the 10-year seen yieldnd we have going up in the last day or two. the question is how is that going to proceed over the remainder of this year and into 2019i don't think we are in any

what does the fed need to do at this point >> the fed right now is a little bit like that -- the ratnd the cheese is gone and the chose eese is inflation. it does not know what to do with growth without inflation or inflation accelerated. i think the inflation rate will pick up as the year goes on just from the lag, the slowdown the u.s. had in 2015, 2016 so what it needs right now, it moved to this sort of a wide path for inflation what it knows it doesn't have is an increase in wages and that's really what it's looking for now for wages to accelerate. it's really just another excuse. even if wages don't accelerate, does that mean it keeps rates where they are so the real answer is that the equity market's really telling them and powell being a preacher of the capital markets, and i mean that affectionately he's really going to let rates -- let the markets dictate where rates should go. if the markets start getting out of control, that means their growth story is right and money is too cheap and he should raise rates. if we get a bull market coming back, it will make it easier for t

the fed does have other tools. they can use for guidance, it can make promises that will keep rates low for a long time. properlysset purchases known as quantitative using, pretty successfully in the last few years. seems to be unwinding without too much difficulty. there are additional tools. the fed can look at other waytegies like changing the targets inflation for example, that could have impact on the ability to respond to a slowdown. i think it's an issue. had anot clear that if we deep recession, that monetary and fiscal policy would be as effective in responding as might have been the case in the past. terrence: that brings me to another question. as a guy who runs a public company, one thing investors can't stand is when you give guidance and you miss it. they will punish you. very badly. fed gave a lot of guidance throughout the years and maybe didn't follow through. one thing the market hates is uncertainty. it hates uncertainty when the government gives guidance on the government doesn't follow through.

we saw the fed backup an e.m. route. we saw the fed backup off the back of what happened in china. is the federal reserve more or less sensitive to that than they were a year ago. >> i think you're seeing them exit, quan tave rising sthrirmente we haven't seen before. they're setting the precedence. so i think there is a very -- very good deal of sensitivity. keep in mind they're reducing their balance sheet at the same time. that's obviously something they're weighing into. >> i had a conversation with week with an investor who said that typically real rates of the fed get to about 1.5. that would suggest the rate needs to get to 3, 3.5%. are we going to get normal rates at 3.5 of the consideration r concern. they'll probably do two or three next year. but i think we're facing a significant slowdown in both fiscal stimulus and by the end of 2019 or 2020. >> i can the federal reserve on a real race basis gets rates to where they once were? >> it defends where they once were. the trend higher for rates is going to be methodically slow. i don't think -- you're going to see rates anyw

alix: so what does this mean for the fed? this is the expected fed rate hike expectations in 2018.are under three, in part because of the drama we have seen unfold in europe. michelle, do we have to worry about contagion and the fed managing that? michelle: i don't think anything we have seen in terms of eurozone turmoil will alter the fed's path. the one thing that we talk about is the fact that fed chair powell does have a market background, as opposed to an academic background. i believe he understands that markets will have volatile periods and the best thing the fed can do is stay the course, stay focused on the economic fundamentals, inflation, employment, all the things that , until policy decisions there is a decision where the turmoil and financial markets is having a tangible impact on the economic outlook. i just think the fed will stay focused on what they can control . we are not changing our view in terms of the fed moving in june. actually continuing to move once a quarter. for me it is all about the fed's desire to get the policy rate up closer to neutral, which is

louis fed president.ood morning, this is "bloomberg daybreak: europe." 7:00 in london, 8:00 in germany. we get the data from germany right now. consumer prices rising 1.6% year on year, unchanged month on month. that is the latest in the german data story. ais comes in the context of stumble from the german economy. that is what we heard early on this week on .3% increase in the size of the german economy, softer than forecast and the weakest in more than a year. dutch-portuguese growth cooling. of weather fx,e the flu, idiosyncratic factors? or is it something more sinister around trade? we are seeing the cpi number coming through in terms of the euro. pretty flat on the euro-dollar at the moment. we will get more details on that. you have breaking corporate news. burberryver far from a brand check. this is the state of play, up 16%. they are doing another share buyback, a new share buyback. is million pounds, this making progress, raising consumer demand. highlights, 2.70 3 million -- for the full-year

what does it mean for the fed?st: for the fed at the moment , they are basically saying they are going to keep going with their rate hiking cycle. that would basically say to me another two hikes this year, a possibility of two next year. certainly for the fed they will continue what they are doing at present. francine: do you agree with that, chef rick -- peter schaffrik? or could it be the beginning of turbulent times? i would go the opposite of what peter said. we have to keep in mind that at this particular time of the year there is quite a few special factors that might be driving cpi. some of these sectors might not be as strong or as weak as expected. ck might moveti a little bit. i don't want to be sort of two critical about this figure that came out of cbi. the underlined strength -- underlined strength is still there. everything at the fed still indicates that they will have to go. we suggest that at the end of the year they will have hiked four times. as a possibility they will keep going into next year

louis fed put out a white paper pretty recently about this. >> yeah each individual fed has done goodon this i know steve has been talking to a lot of them today at this conference i have not noticed a particular fed that's taking the lead although the st. louis fed what was interesting about that paper is they really compared bitcoin to currency and how the valuation was very similar so we, you know, talk a lot about is bitcoin in the bubble or not in the bubble but they just said essentially the value is the same or at least determined in the same way. >> there's also a place specifically in terms of acknowledging the value of bitcoin in terms of the function what are some of the catalysts that you see that could possibly keep this going higher >> a couple of different things. if we look back historically the last time that goldman made a big move was when they bought into circlen the s financial they are the leader among the institution so that's one catalyst we have number two, we could get some regulatory clarity and the one thing that's interesting is bitcoin is clearly a curren
