After Waller's hawkish speech, the market has fully priced in a 25 basis point rate hike by the Federal Reserve in December

After the speech by Federal Reserve Governor Waller, the market has further increased its bets on the Federal Reserve raising interest rates, and it has now fully priced in the expectation that the Federal Reserve will raise rates by 25 basis points in December.

Waller stated that even if the October CPI improves compared to September, it will still support a 25 basis point rate hike in December. If the October core CPI rises around 0.3% or higher, the Federal Reserve may need to raise rates by 50 basis points in December.
