Waller said earlier this month that rate hikes need not come at consecutive meetings but should be implemented within an acceptable timeframe.

“What's the cost of waiting one meeting? Hiking 25 basis points, one meeting right now, is not going to bring the [consumer price index] down to 2%,”

Waller voiced support for another hold in public remarks delivered Sept. 3, urging patience rather than a rush to hike.
