US: Bullard mitigates any USD push despite production prices rise
US production prices increased 0.4% in October, above the 0.1% expected and 2.8% year-on-year, exceeding the estimated 2.4%. Excluding energy and food, they grew 0.4% monthly and 2.4% annually, improving prospects in both cases.
For his part, James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Fed, said that current interest rates are still appropriate in the short term.
