Fed signals need for more rate hikes to contain inflation
Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated on Thursday that, if economic data evolves as expected, additional rate hikes will be needed to bring inflation back to the 2% target.
Waller highlighted that the Federal Reserve has flexibility regarding the pace of these hikes, and it is not mandatory that they occur in consecutive meetings, as long as they are implemented within a reasonable timeframe.
Expected impact on global markets
The statement comes in a context of caution on the part of American monetary authorities, which may influence expectations for the euro against the dollar in the coming months.
Investors are closely monitoring the Fed's signals, as the direction of United States monetary policy directly affects global financial conditions and the exchange rate dynamics between major currencies.
