Dallas Fed president Kaplan: We're in the teeth of this pandemic, we should be aggressive - CNBC

  • We're not out of the woods by a longshot
  • I'm going to avoid talking about tapering
  • I expected improvement in economic mobility from June onwards
  • There is a substantial amount of liquidity in markets and we're seeing that in play
  • It will be healthy to minimize this liquidity down the road but I'm going to avoid talking about that until down the road
  • I do not see systemic risks right now in financial markets
  • I think it's wise for us to acknowledge that Fed buying $120 billion a month is part of that
  • It wouldn't surprise me to see some inflation spikes this year but believes it will mostly be transitory
  • 10-year Treasury yields expected to go up if the economy grows as forecasted; that would be healthy
  • Coronavirus vaccine is critical to seeing the economy recover
