U.S. stock index futures edged lower on Monday as hawkish comments from a U.S. Federal Reserve official tempered hopes of a less aggressive pace of monetary policy tightening.
on Sunday that markets should now pay attention to the "endpoint" of rate increases, not the pace of each move, and the endpoint is likely "a ways off".
The comments from Waller, a voting member of the rate-setting committee this year, follow softer-than-expected inflation data for October that led to a euphoric market rally last week, with the S&P 500 logging its biggest weekly percentage gains in about five months. "The message is coming loud and clear from the Fed, investors should hold their horses when it comes to expectations of looser monetary policy," said Susannah Streeter, senior investment and markets analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown.
Traders now expect the Fed to hike interest rates in December by a half point, and expect terminal rate in the range of 4.75%-5.0% in May 2023. At 5:30 a.m. ET, Dow e-minis were down 82 points, or 0.24%, S&P 500 e-minis were down 14 points, or 0.35%, and Nasdaq 100 e-minis were down 71.5 points, or 0.60%.
