Waller open to larger December rate hike

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated he supports a December rate hike and would consider a 50 basis point increase if October core consumer price index (CPI) exceeds 0.3 percent.

Frederik Ducrozet highlighted Waller's remarks, pointing out that just two months ago Waller had referenced a different CPI threshold.

Ducrozet has previously reported on central bank officials' readiness to respond to changing conditions. In a recent article, he covered Klaas Knot's statement that the ECB would consider introducing a new, tailor-made tool if needed. No independent intervention has yet been announced.
