Additional quotes

“Possibility of higher growth for more years to come "bodes well" for the US economy and workers but needs careful fed risk management.”

“Wants end of crisis-era policies to begin soon so fed can move in smaller increments rather than risk a "scramble" if high inflation persists.”

Market reaction

The US dollar is little impressed by the above comments, testing lows near 91.95, down 0.10% on the day.
