Fed Bullard hinting small reductions in bond buying

"The Federal Reserve could hedge its bets by making small moves rather than large, aggressive ones when it starts pulling back on its $85 billion-a-month bond-buying program, said James Bullard, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.
"A larger move would be interpreted as a faster pace of reduction," he said Thursday. "A smaller move would be considered a more hedged bet, a slower rate of reduction in purchases."
He didn't elaborate on what amount would constitute a small pullback or a larger one"
