Fed's Bullard: sticks with call for single rate hike in 2016 & 2017

Key quotes, via Reuters:

  • No reason to seeing US economy heading for recession
  • Risk may be to upside 
  • Regards steady target rate of 63 basis points as appropriate until conditions change
  • Repeats call for a set of possible 'regimes' that the economy may visit, abandoning concept of single, long-run steady state
