Federal Reserve Governor Waller stated that, given the increased risk of inflation, the Fed should no longer make interest rate cuts its default plan. He mentioned that the Middle East conflict has led to an increase in the cost of commodities such as oil, which may trigger broader inflation. Waller believes that maintaining interest rates in the range of 3.5% to 3.75% may be the right choice, and he also said that if inflation does not quickly weaken, the possibility of future interest rate hikes cannot be ruled out.
