Fed's Christopher Waller signaled that he supports cutting interest rates, despite high inflation and Trump's tariff concerns.

Inflation is likely to continue to ease and possibly allow the U.S. central bank to cut interest rates sooner and faster than expected, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Thursday in comments that pushed against recent market moves that anticipate a shallower Fed rate path.

The US Federal Reserve could cut rates three or four times this year if inflation data cooperates, with a first cut possible before July, a senior bank official said Thursday.

A top policymaker at the US Federal Reserve says that he still supports reducing interest rates this year, despite elevated inflation and the prospect of widespread tariffs.

In a Wednesday morning speech, the Federal Reserve Gov. Christopher Waller said President-elect Donald Trump's nascent trade policy will likely lead to a one-time jump in prices rather than broader inflationary pressure.

The Fed’s top bank cop, Michael Barr, is stepping down early to avoid a legal battle with Trump. If the Federal Reserve is politicized and weakened, the winners will be large financial institutions and the losers will be all of us. Unfortunately, that’s already happening before President-elect Donald Trump is even sworn in.
