TradingKey — Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller’s latest remarks sent a clear hawkish signal, stating that if core inflation remains elevated, the Fed does not rule out tightening monetary policy in the near term, directly disrupting previous market expectations of a policy pivot toward rate cuts. Waller stated that if subsequent economic data shows inflation remains significantly above the 2% policy target, the Fed may need to implement further rate hikes in the short term, noting that monetary policy is currently at a critical "crossroads." He pointed out that the policy direction will be determined by the latest economic data, such as the CPI report to be released on Tuesday. While he does not advocate for hiking rates prematurely to avoid triggering a recession, he emphasized that the labor market is currently stable and the Fed must avoid repeating its mistake from several years ago—reacting too slowly as price pressures intensified.
