Waller says the US economy is strengthening and inflation has not improved
智通财经2026/09/16 19:31Federal Reserve Chair Walsh stated that since Federal Reserve policymakers last met in June, the US economy has strengthened, the labor market is essentially at full employment, while the inflation trend has shown no improvement. Walsh said, “Even just in the past few weeks, I believe there is now broad data indicating the economy has indeed strengthened. The underlying drivers of economic growth are improving. The problem lies with inflation, as the issue of price stability has persisted for more than five and a half years.”

RSM Chief Economist expects the Federal Reserve to hold rates steady in October and raise by 25 basis points in December
RSM US Chief Economist Joseph Brusuelas stated: "A 'low hiring, low layoffs' U.S. job market remains our baseline view, and we expect the pace of hiring to stay sluggish going forward. The minor increase in the unemployment rate was mainly caused by statistically insignificant noise, and at present, describing the U.S. labor market as 'full employment' remains most appropriate. The weak pace of hiring, along with fluctuations in the domestic labor force data, should support members within the Federal Reserve who advocate maintaining the federal funds rate unchanged at the upcoming October meeting. The September data suggest that the risk of a second round of inflation triggered by wage increases is very small or even non-existent. In fact, employment is simply not a concern for the Fed’s policy objectives at this time. Our baseline judgement for the direction of monetary policy remains: no rate hike in October, a 25-basis-point hike in December, followed by another 25-basis-point hike in March 2027."
