Fed's Waller: Will be an advocate for front-loading rate cuts if that is appropriate

Federal Reserve (Fed) Governor Christopher Waller said on Friday that he is open-minded on the size and the pace of interest rate cuts, adding that they will depend on data, per Reuters.

Key takeaways

"Maintaining the economy's forward momentum means time has come to begin reducing policy rate at upcoming meeting."

"Data in past three days indicates labor market is softening but not deteriorating; this judgment important to upcoming policy decision."

"It is likely a series of reductions in policy rate will be appropriate."

"Determining appropriate pace of cuts will be challenging."

"Will be an advocate for front-loading rate cuts if that is appropriate."

"If future data shows significant deterioration in labor market, Fed can act quickly and forcefully."

"Would also cut at consecutive meetings if data calls for it as I would be for larger cuts if needed."

"I do not believe economy is in a recession or necessarily headed for one soon."

"I stand ready to act promptly to support the economy as needed."

"Sufficient room to cut policy rate and still remain somewhat restrictive to ensure inflation returns to 2%."

"Current batch of data no longer requires patience, it requires action."

"August jobs report and other recent data reinforces view there has been continued moderation in the labor market."

"In light of considerable and ongoing progress toward FOMC's 2% inflation goal, balance of risks has shifted toward employment."

"Monetary policy has to adjust accordingly as balance of risks has shifted to employment side of mandate."

"Softening of labor market pattern consistent with moderate growth in economic activity."

"Labor market and economy performing in a solid manner and future prospects are good."

"See some downside risks to employment, will be watching closely."

Upozorenje o rizicima

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
