Fed’s Yellen: Rising commodity prices don’t merit policy shift

  • Sees commodities price rise as transitory
  • gas prices likely to flatten out soon
  • Cannot be complacent on inflation expectations
  • sharp rebound in economy relatively unlikely
  • job opportunities relatively scarce

Yellen is a committed dove, so her comments are unsurprising. She does pay lip-service to the threat of complacency regarding inflation expectations.
