Walsh insists on a cautious market guidance, considering a rate hike in September if inflation remains strong.

According to reports, even after deciding not to disclose too many details about interest rate strategies, which led to a significant sell-off of government bonds, Federal Reserve Chairman Waller still insists on his usual concise communication style. People close to Waller have indicated that he acknowledges having made some mistakes during his first 10 weeks at the helm of the world's most important central bank, including failing to reinforce key messages about price stability and causing confusion over whether his long-term plans to reform the Fed would affect recent policy decisions. However, they maintain that these mistakes are not significant enough to undermine Wallers proposed reforms at the Fed. Sources also revealed that if inflation data released in the coming weeks is strong and market expectations for rising borrowing costs increase accordingly, Waller is prepared to raise interest rates at the September meeting. The sources added that despite the Fed Chair suggesting 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 utilized at the upcoming meeting if necessary.
