Fed's Waller: I don't see case for a March rate cut

update 2025.03.07 05:40

Federal Reserve (Fed) Governing Board Member Christopher Waller noted on Thursday that recent data has made it more difficult to argue in favor of additional rate cuts heading into the tail end of the first quarter.

Key highlights

Not all tariffs are passed through.

Fed policy is still restrictive.

Fed can cut rates for positive and negative reasons.

I'm still believing good rate cut cast is in place.

Seeing some signs of softer data.

We have to respond to hard data.

I'm waiting to see if weakness in soft data shows up in broader statistics.

The Fed still needs more data to understand economic outlook.

I don't see case for a March rate cut.

I could see rate cuts after the March Fed meeting.

If February data comes in good, I will feel better about inflation.

A median of two cuts for this year remains reasonable.
