Fed Governor Waller Supports December Rate Cut Over Labor Market Weakness

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller endorsed a rate cut at the December 9–10 policy meeting during a Fox Business Network interview on November 25, 2025. Waller cited weak labor market conditions as his primary justification under the Fed's dual mandate. He indicated the central bank may adopt a meeting-by-meeting approach starting in January, as key employment and inflation data will be released after the December decision.
