Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller spoke earlier:
- Fed's Waller says the FOMC should cut interest rates by 25bp at the July meeting
- More from Waller: Lots of uncertainty around long term Fed Fund rate, 3% seems right
- Wall Street Journal on Waller comment: strongest endorsement yet for a rate cut this month
I don't have any Federal Reserve speakers scheduled for today, Friday, July 18, 2025. Which doesn't mean one won't pop up on some media interview or other, these often don;t make it onto calendars.
Beginning tomorrow, Saturday, July 19, 2025 the 'blackout' period begins:
- The 'blackout' policy from the Federal Reserve limits the extent to which Federal Open Market Committee participants and staff can speak publicly or grant interviews.
- The period begins the two Saturdays preceding a Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting.
