<ul><li>Consumer spending and economic strength make it possible US economy could re-accelerate before inflation cools</li><li>If inflation remains high and demand gives 'no signal' it is likely to drop, that would require tighter mon pol</li><li>Recent moves in bond yields not a sign of 'inappropriate' market tightening, likely a response to strong economic data</li></ul><p>Barkin has no idea what's going on bonds either. In any case, there's a hawkish bent to these comments and the S&amp;P 500 is at the lows of the day.</p>
