      Federal Reserve Governor Waller Supports Steady Interest Rates Amid Cooling Inflation

      Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller expressed support for maintaining current interest rates during the upcoming Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on September 15-16, contingent on continued signs of disinflation in economic data. His comments come in response to a recent hawkish stance from Fed Chair Kevin Warsh, who indicated that inflation trends did not fully reflect the economic situation, leading to increased market expectations for a rate hike.

      Waller highlighted a significant decline in the three-month annualized inflation rate, which has decreased from 4.76% in February to 3.05%. He described this improvement as considerable and encouraging, suggesting that current monetary policy is only slightly restrictive. However, he also noted that he would consider supporting a rate hike if the upcoming Consumer Price Index (CPI) data indicates stronger inflation than anticipated.

      Following Waller's remarks, U.S. equity markets experienced a notable rally, with the S&P 500 rising by 1.06%, the Nasdaq increasing by 1.4%, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average gaining 624 points, or 1.18%. Treasury yields fell to session lows, and the implied probability of a September rate hike dropped from approximately 54.6% to near 50%, reflecting a shift in market sentiment. Waller's comments served as a counterbalance to Warsh's earlier hawkish framing, suggesting that the upcoming inflation report will play a crucial role in determining the Fed's policy direction.
