Axel Merk: Waller hints at holding rates if inflation slowdown confirmed
Waller leans toward steady U.S. rates

Axel Merk comments that Federal Reserve Governor Waller appears willing to hold interest rates if upcoming data confirms a sustained decline in inflation.

Merk points out that while Waller is known for being outspoken, his recent remarks suggest openness to maintaining current rates as long as disinflation continues.

Merk has previously observed a surge in gold prices following the Treasury Twist announcement. In an earlier note, he reported on China’s efforts to strengthen its currency’s role in global trade by building supporting infrastructure for adoption. These prior comments reflect Merk’s consistent focus on policy signals and currency markets.
