Fed's Waller: More cuts likely though timing depends on inflation progress

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Inflation should continue falling in 2025 and allow the U.S. Federal Reserve to further reduce interest rates, though at an uncertain pace, Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said on Wednesday. Waller said that while it was true inflation "appears to have stalled" above the Fed's 2% target in the waning months of 2024, market-based inflation estimates, as well as one-month and shorter-term inflation readings, have left him confident that inflation is continuing to ease in the U.S. even if the pace of improvement is less certain. "This minimal further progress has led to calls to slow or stop reducing the policy rate," Waller said in remarks to an Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development event in Paris.
