Wash Press Conference Preview: Communication Repair and Inflation Narrative

In the preview of the press conference with Waller, the market is focused on whether he can rectify the communication mishap from July and clearly explain the logic behind interest rate hikes.

Analysts from the French Foreign Trade Bank expect Waller to view interest rate hikes as a necessary measure to ensure inflation returns to target. In addition, the market will pay attention to Waller's views on inflationary pressures caused by energy and tariffs, as well as how he responds to Trump's calls for rate cuts, emphasizing the independence of the Federal Reserve.
