Fed nominee Kohn says U.S. inflation quite low WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - Federal Reserve Board nominee Donald Kohn on Thursday described U.S. inflation as "pretty darn low" and said the economy was at or near price stability. "The current rate of inflation is pretty darn low, and we are getting awfully close to some zone of price stability if we are not probably already in it," Kohn told a dinner meeting of the Money Marketeers. He declined to provide specifics on what he thought price stability was. Kohn also said the recent rise in gold prices was more a reflection of uncertain geopolitical times rather than a signal that inflation expectations were rising in the United States. President George W. Bush in May nominated Kohn, a veteran Fed staff member who is the Fed Board's top adviser on monetary policy, and Princeton economist Ben Bernanke, to fill two vacancies on the Fed's Board of Governors.
