Fed's Waller pushes for December rate cut amid weakening labor market and low inflation.
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller urged a December interest rate cut, citing a labor market near "stall speed" with rising layoffs, weak hiring, and slowing growth, arguing another 25 basis point cut is needed to prevent further economic strain, especially for lower- and middle-income households.
He downplayed inflation risks, calling recent tariffs a temporary effect and noting underlying inflation near the 2% target.
Despite his dovish stance, market expectations for a cut have dropped to around 40%, reflecting growing Fed caution and internal divisions, with Chair Powell and others emphasizing the need for more data before further easing.
