The member of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve (FED), Christopher Waller, made another call on why the Fed should make an early rate cut in July. During a speech in the Dallas Fed, Waller said that the effects of tariff inflation are probably short duration and stipulated that a rate cut here would not be politically motivated.
The governor of the Fed, Waller, is one of the possible favorites to replace the president of the FED, Jerome Powell, in 2026.
