SHANGHAI, Jan 8 (Reuters) - It would be good to see more improvement in the U.S. job market before exiting some stimulus programmes, a top U.S. Federal Reserve official said on Friday.
James Bullard, president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank, also said that low, stable inflation was good for the dollar.
"The dollar policy is actually the policy of the U.S. Treasury, not the policy of the Federal Reserve. Our job is to keep inflation low and stable. I would think that if we kept inflation low and stable, that that would be very helpful to the dollar," he said.
Bullard, who votes on the U.S. central bank's policy-setting Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) this year, was speaking to an audience of university students in Shanghai. (Reporting by Jacqueline Wong; Editing by Chris Lewis)
