WASHINGTON (MarketWatch)
Chicago Federal Reserve President Charles Evans, the
leading proponent of having the central bank tie its low-rate pledge to economic
conditions, on Tuesday tweaked his influential formula, saying policy makers
should vow low rates until unemployment falls below 6.5%, as long as inflation
is not forecast to rise above 2.5%
In the past, Evans has advocated that the
Fed offer assurances it will keep short-term rates low until the jobless rate
falls to 7%, as long as inflation remains below 3%
Evans said the 7% threshold
now seems "too conservative."
He said he also lowered his inflation safeguard
because it made "many people anxious."
The Fed is seen as moving slowly but
steadily toward an overhaul of its communications strategy
At the moment, the
Fed uses a calendar-date approach, saying it expects to keep rates near zero
until mid-2015
