Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.
Fed Governor Christopher Waller said he is "not super hawkish" and that policymakers do not want to "slam the economy down," signaling a preference for restraint in further tightening. The remark matters because it pushes back against expectations of aggressive rate hikes, a key driver of risk-asset and crypto sentiment. Traders will watch upcoming inflation and labor data, plus other Fed speakers, for confirmation of how far the tightening cycle may still run.
