Focus of the Federal Reserve Meeting Shifts to Signals from Waller

If the Federal Reserve maintains interest rates this week, Chair Waller will face the challenge of convincing investors that the Fed is committed to curbing inflation while also explaining why rates are not being raised. The market expects policymakers to keep rates unchanged, with attention now turning to December, when the Fed is widely believed to potentially raise rates for the second time this year. Stephen Stanley, Chief Economist at Santander US Capital Markets, stated that he expects rates to remain unchanged but believes there will be another rate hike in December. Waller needs to explain why no action was taken in October while also clarifying why a rate hike is still possible in December.
