Fed's Hoenig says: 

  • Inflation can never be taken for granted. 
  • Should not assume that inflation is under control
  • US faces very difficult set of circumstances
  • Rise in oil has taken about 1% off the GDP
  • Inflation is at an unacceptable level
  • Inflation may become a way of life.
  • Monetary policy is accomodative
  • Limiting inflation is a major challenge for the Fed

Fed's Fisher says:

  • Slowdown may be deep but not prolonged
  • Slump may end with higher inflation than desired
  • Economy likely to remain anemic
  • FOMC is in a difficult position
  • Hard to say how much commodity rise is tied to speculation
  • Dollar will see variation of dollar but dollar will strengthen again.
  • It is hard to see a fast supplier solution to higher oil prices
