  • Warnings of a coming recession this year are wrong, St. Louis Fed President James Bullard said.
  • Bullard pointed to strong economic data and shrugged off fears of an economic contraction.
  • A strong labor market and strong consumption are likely to fuel a "big chunk" of the US economy.

Wall Street is wrong for sounding the alarm on a recession in 2023, and the US economy will keep expanding this year, according to St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard.
