Christopher Waller, a member of the Fed's Board of Governors, expressed confidence that inflation in the United States will continue to decline in 2025, which will create conditions for further interest rate cuts. Although inflation remained above the Fed's 2% target at the end of 2024, market estimates and short-term indicators point to a slowing trend. At an OECD event in Paris, Waller stressed that further rate cuts would be possible with a steady decline in inflation and stability in the labor market. He noted that the Fed has already cut the key rate by 1 percentage point over the last three meetings, but at the next meeting in January, the rate is expected to remain in the range of 4.25-4.5%. According to him, opinions within the Fed are divided: from assumptions about the absence of a rate cut to expectations of a reduction of 1.25 percentage points in 2025. Waller added that the U.S. economy remains strong, with rising hiring and wages supporting consumer spending. New data on the labor market, which will be published in the coming days, may confirm this stability.
