Fed’s Waller Won’t Signal July Rate Vote Stance

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he will not signal in advance whether he might dissent from the interest-rate decision at the Federal Open Market Committee’s July meeting. Speaking in a television interview, Waller stressed that he prefers not to commit to any action before policy makers convene. Waller added that he believes he has already been "as clear as possible" about his stance on rates, but declined to elaborate on whether incoming data could shift that view. His remarks underscore the Fed’s practice of keeping policy options open until officials have assessed the latest economic indicators ahead of each meeting.
