San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly told Washington Post on Wednesday that she was not expecting to see a V-shaped recovery despite the recent positive signs.

Additional takeaways

"It is a wait and watch moment."

"Expecting US unemployment to stay above 10% through end of the year under the best-case scenario."

"Employers are not ramping up output, hiring because of uncertainty."

"If we can get virus under control, the recovery can take just four or five years."
