Waller said Thursday that 75 basis points remains the “base case” for a rate hike at the July 26-27 meeting, and says “markets may have gotten a little bit ahead of themselves” on 100 basis points, though he did not rule out a “bigger” move. .
Bullard told the Nikkei that he favored a move of 75 basis points, which he said would bring the Fed funds rate to a “neutral” level. He said more tightening was needed, but “we can assess” as the year goes on.

Market Rise Analysis
For the second session in a row, the major indexes fell sharply in the morning but quickly rebounded, with the Nasdaq turning positive in the afternoon. On Thursday, the Nasdaq managed to post slight gains, while the S&P 500, Dow Jones and Russell 2000 indexes fell for the fifth consecutive session.
All major indices fell sharply during the week, which started with the Nasdaq hitting resistance again at the 10-week moving average. All indicators are below their 21 day moving averages.
After trending lower for several sessions, maybe the ‘uptrend is under pressure’ due to the rebound. But it doesn’t have to happen any time soon, and Thursday’s rush from the lows may have been the “rebound”.
Arguably, the leading indicators are range-bound, with highs in early or late June indicating a top, and lows in mid-June indicating a bottom. There is a lot of fluctuation within this range.
As earnings season rages on, adding to the whirlwind of inflation, stagnation and Fed uncertainty, volatility appears to be rising in the market and individual stocks are likely to continue.
