  "summary": "Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller stated on Tuesday that he supports an interest-rate hike in December. According to Bloomberg, Waller warned that if inflation continues to accelerate, he would support a half-percentage-point increase to protect the central bank's credibility.\n\nInvesting.com reports that Waller would support a 25 basis point increase at the December meeting even if government data shows inflation cooled last month. However, he noted that if core consumer prices rise 0.3% or more from September, a stronger move should be considered, such as a 50 basis point hike. MarketWatch adds that the decision depends on how the October consumer price data comes in.",
