Two Federal Reserve policymakers on Tuesday said they believe inflation is heading down to the U.S. central bank's 2% target and the job market is "solid," even as neither gave any clear steer on whether they'll support another interest rate cut later this month.

The Federal Open Market Committee is most likely to cut interest rates again to 4.25% to 4.5% on December 18 according to fixed income markets.

Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco President Mary Daly said an interest-rate cut this month isn’t certain but remains on the table for policymakers.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller, whose views are often a bellwether for U.S. monetary policy, said on Monday that with inflation still forecast to fall to 2% he is inclined "at present" to support another interest rate cut later this month.

Federal Reserve governor Christopher Waller said he was leaning toward favoring a cut in interest rates at the central bank’s meeting later this month, though he also said he could be open to arguments for holding rates steady.

Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller said Monday he is anticipating an interest rate cut in December but is concerned about recent trends on inflation that could change his mind.
