Federal Reserve Governor Chris Waller, an advocate for an immediate interest rate cut, said on Friday he would accept the job as head of the central bank if asked by President Donald Trump, but so far Trump has not contacted him about it.

Waller restated the case he first revealed in a Thursday speech that the Fed should cut when policymakers gather later this month, given data suggesting the US labour market is “on the edge.”

A top Federal Reserve official said late Thursday that the central bank should cut its key interest rate later this month, carving out a different view than that of Chair Jerome Powell, who has been harshly criticized by the White House for delaying rate cuts.
