According to a report by the Financial Times, even after a significant sell-off of government bonds due to the decision not to disclose too many details about interest rate strategies, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller continues to adhere to his usual concise communication style. People close to Waller have indicated that he acknowledges having made some mistakes in his first ten weeks at the helm of the worlds most important central bank, including failing to reinforce key information about price stability and creating confusion about whether his long-term plans for reforming the Fed would affect recent policy decisions. However, they assert that these mistakes are not substantial enough to undermine Waller's rationale for the Fed's reform agenda. Sources also revealed that if strong inflation data is released in the coming weeks and market expectations for rising borrowing costs increase accordingly, Waller is prepared to raise interest rates at the September meeting. The sources added that although the Fed Chairman has raised the possibility of reducing the central bank's $6.7 trillion balance sheet to tighten monetary policy, interest rates remain the primary tool and will be used, if necessary, at the upcoming meeting.
