Waller may support September rate hike

Joseph Wang, macro analyst and blogger at Fed Guy, notes that Federal Reserve official Christopher Waller has indicated a willingness to support an interest rate hike in September if upcoming Consumer Price Index data signals that disinflation has stalled.

Waller's remarks highlight the importance of inflation data in shaping future U.S. monetary policy decisions.

Wang has recently commented that AI-related debt issuance is not displacing U.S. Treasuries, as dealer holdings and swap spreads remain stable. He has also raised questions about whether the Federal Reserve’s approach to long-term rates involves policy input from the White House. These observations reflect his ongoing focus on U.S. monetary and fiscal policy developments.
