Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said he supports an interest-rate increase at the central bank’s December meeting. He said he would back a half-percentage-point increase if inflation keeps accelerating or comes in substantially higher than he expects. CNBC reports he is leaning toward a December increase, and the Financial Times says policymakers should weigh a 50-basis-point move if US inflation fails to slow. Bloomberg reports that October consumer price data came in hotter than expected, which has intensified debate over the size of the move. Waller spoke at a Bank of England event in London.

Compare views
Every side reports that Waller favors a December rate increase and would back a half-point move if inflation keeps rising.
