On Friday, the major US currency slipped because New York Federal Reserve President John Williams told that the correlation between inflation and employment is already kicking.
For the last time, the correlation, dubbed the Phillips Curve, has been in doubt because of no inflation notwithstanding the unemployment rate approaching record minimums.
On Friday, Williams told that the Phillips Curve still exists and the key US financial institution needs to be vigilant as for inflation as well as weakening inflation expectations.
