Fed's Waller backs December rate hike, warns half-point move possible if inflation worsens.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller expressed support for a quarter-point interest rate increase in December and indicated a potential half-point hike if inflation data deteriorates. He emphasized the importance of following through on promised rate hikes to maintain the Fed's credibility, even if the timing is not consecutive. Waller described the economy as growing healthily with a solid labor market and stressed that higher rates are needed sooner rather than later to control inflation. The Fed's next policy meeting is scheduled for December 8-9, with markets currently pricing in a likely quarter-point hike but not a half-point increase.

Federal Reserve Governor Waller's outlook on December rate hikes comes as 85 of 142 Financials-sector US stocks on Pluang rose today.
