Inflation Data ðÂ
Waller acknowledged recent data indicating a slowdown in inflationary pressures, citing factors such as flattening retail sales and cooling activity in manufacturing and services sectors. Despite this, he maintained that further rate hikes are likely unnecessary given the current economic conditions. Wait & See ð¤Â
While Waller expressed openness to potential future adjustments, he emphasized the importance of consistent improvement in inflation metrics. He underscored the need for several months of favorable inflation data and emphasized the significance of labor market indicators in his decision-making process. CPI Report ðÂ
April's consumer price index (CPI) report, showing a 3.4% inflation rate year-over-year, received a mixed response from Waller. While he welcomed the slight moderation in inflation, he stressed the need for more substantial evidence of a sustained downtrend before considering policy adjustments. Room for Improvement ðÂ
Waller graded the CPI report as a "welcome relief" but noted the modest progress, indicating that additional evidence is necessary to warrant policy changes. He refrained from providing specific timelines or extent of potential rate cuts, highlighting the evolving nature of the economic landscape. Forward-Looking Approach ð±Â
Maintaining a forward-looking perspective, Waller refrained from disclosing precise criteria for future policy decisions, underscoring the importance of flexibility and data-driven insights in shaping monetary policy. Top Winners and Losers ð¥ MGO Global [MGOL] $1.25 (+443%)
