Fed Governor Waller leaning to “hold” pushes odds of a Sep hike down to 50% (on way to zero, in our view). We still expect “Sup”-tember, a contrarian bullish month.
Video: Fed Governor Waller indicated his inclination to hold in Sept, and his rationale focused on the fact that disinflationary forces are underway. This helped drop the odds of a Sept hike down to 51%. The key is today’s August jobs and August CPI next Friday. Also 4 of the…
