Fed's vice-chair Clarida: Rising yields reflect optimism about the recovery and fiscal support
Going forward, low unemployment rate, in and of itself, will not be sufficient to trigger tightening of monetary policy absent any evidence from other indicators that inflation is at risk of moving above mandate-consistent levels
It will take some time for economic activity and employment to return to levels that prevailed at business cycle peak reached last February
U.S. economy is much more resilient than forecast a year ago
