St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard expressed optimism that the United States and China will reach a deal to end their trade war.
expressed optimism that the United States and China will reach a deal to end their trade war, despite recent negotiating setbacks.
"My base case continues to be that we'll get an agreement on trade," Bullard, a voting member on the central bank's policymaking Federal Open Market Committee this year, said Wednesday in an address at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Hong Kong.Bullard also said that China should accept U.S. demands in the trade talks in order to attract more foreign capital, saying the country would stand to reap enormous benefits.
"They will establish credibility on trade inside China and will reassure foreign investors that they can invest in China and be treated appropriately," he said in response to questions from the audience.He added that on a macroeconomic level, China should agree to everything that's being asked of it by the U.S. "If that occurs I would see blue skies ahead for the Chinese economy," he stated.
"I would say If we're going to see major trade barriers stay in place, they would have to at least be in place for six months before you'd start really worrying about it from a monetary policy perspective," he said. "It's natural in a negotiating framework that you would see a lot of maneuvering right before an agreement is reached and I'm hopeful that that's what we're observing right now," he added.
