- The world will need to get used to lower levels of growth in China
- Since December, financial conditions have tightened
- Zero rates cause distortions
- Tighter financial conditions may slow US economy
- I want to be vigilant, patient in assessing how events are unfolding
- Should not be speculating about future rate hikes; assessing global, domestic outlook
