Golden Ten Data reported on June 17 that Nick Timiraos, known as the “Fed whisperer,” stated there are three highlights to watch in the first Federal Reserve meeting chaired by Waller. 1. Will the statement with an “easing bias” be removed? And if so, what will replace it? Since 2024, the line about “further adjustments” in the policy statement has sent a consistent signal: the next move in interest rates is more likely to be a cut than an increase. This phrasing sparked controversy at the last Federal Reserve meeting and now appears somewhat untenable. Removing it could satisfy all sides: hawks want it gone, while Waller can present this move as a reform rather than a signal of a hawkish shift. Even Trump hinted at this move during Waller’s swearing-in ceremony.

Among the ten sectors, the Nordic healthcare sector recorded the largest increase. Genmab A/S rose by 5.3%, leading the Nordic stocks.
