Fed's Waller: 50 Basis Point Hike on the Table in Case of Inflation Surprise

Federal Reserve Board Governor Christopher Waller said he is close to supporting a 25 basis point rate hike at the December meeting. Waller stated that if October inflation data comes in above expectations, a 50 basis point increase should also be considered. Waller's remarks brought the uncertainty over the pace of monetary policy tightening to the fore. The official indicated that a more aggressive step may be needed depending on the course of inflation. Markets are focused on the October inflation data due today. If the data exceeds expectations, it is assessed that discussions over the size of the rate hike at the Fed's December meeting could be reshaped. Not investment advice.

▲ up · 55%

Waller's mention of a possible 50 basis point rate hike can be seen as a hawkish signal for the DXY and may support the dollar in the short term. However, the RSI is hovering around 47, indicating neutrality, and the price is almost at the same level as the SMA20, meaning the market has not yet established a clear direction. The MACD is very close to zero and nearly intertwined with the signal line, suggesting weak momentum. Since the price remains below the SMA50, the medium-term outlook is still under pressure. The impact of the news may be limited; if a sustained break above 101.70 is achieved, the upward reaction could strengthen.
