As Roseanne Rosanna Danna used to say on Saturday Night Live it’s always something we were in the middle of a quote-unquote banking crisis and now we’ve got another oil shock uh this morning everybody waking up to headlines and say maybe we go to a hundred dollars

So as a Fed official when you see that how are you reacting well on the financial stress I think you know this is a post Dodd-Frank world and I do think that the reaction to the banking problems uh was Swift and was appropriate and both here in the U.S and overseas and

So I think you know the idea that there are macro Prudential tools that you can use in that kind of situation to calm things down that seems to have worked so far you never know if there’s further things happening but if if there are we can react with macro potential tools again

And then on the policy the monetary policy side we can still proceed to fight inflation and and get inflation down during 2023 and 2024 back to Target so I think you know this idea that you can walking chew gum at the same time you’ve got the macro Prudential tools for

Financial stress and you’ve got monetary policy to fight inflation we can do both as long as the financial stress doesn’t uh morph into something much larger and so far so good but knock on wood you’re never sure what’s going to be around the corner but does hundred dollar oil or

The idea at least of this oil shock complicates your job yeah well of course oil is always uh the oil price is is always important I would have expected a somewhat higher oil prices anyway with China coming back sooner than expected during the first half here of 2023 and with your

Obscurring recession so both of those and strong data in the U.S all of those are are pretty uh bullish factors I would say for the oil Market this was a surprise that OPEC decision but whether it will have a lasting impact I think is an open question now you had already

Moved up your estimate of where the FED funds rate needed to be to bring down inflation you were talking an effective rate of around 5.6 percent does this change that calculation at all and can you explain why you think we need to go that high to hit the terminal rate

Uh I think we’ll we will need I think we’ll need to get over five percent the committee says that uh the median person on the committee says uh a little over five percent I’m a little higher than that um I think inflation will be stickier

And uh uh you know I looked mostly at the core measures of inflation like pce core inflation or the Dallas fed trim mean which really hasn’t come down very much at all is still in the four percent range so uh you know 4.6 or something like that so

Um so we’re still talking about a lot of inflation more than double our inflation Target on that basis and uh oil prices fluctuate around it’s hard to it’s hard to track exactly some of that might feed into inflation and make our job a little bit more difficult
