FED'S WALLER: WE ARE AT THE POINT THAT THE ECONOMY IS STRONG, WE WANT TO KEEP IT THAT WAY, 50 BPS RIGHT POLICY ACTION TO DO THAT.
Meaning: We are at the point at which the economy is contracting at the fastest pace in history and we had to cut by 50bps, because 75bps would create too much fear, but Powell did a good job of convincing people that the economy is still decent.
*WALLER: COULD CONSIDER 50BP CUT AGAIN IF JOB MARKET WORSENS
Meaning: we will definitely continue to cut by 50bps, however probably not right after the US selections, because it would look wrong and we don't really want that, do we?
