The latest 25bp cut was expected. What wasn't? The growing disconnect between what the Fed believes will fix the economy and what markets are pricing in. Our economists see a path that splits the difference. While Fed officials project just three more cuts will restore balance, markets are betting on double that. Our analysis suggests we’re somewhere in between. We see four more cuts needed before trade clarity and lower borrowing costs stabilize the situation. The numbers tell a compelling story: - August jobs growth: Just 22,000 (the slowest in years) - Unemployment duration: 25% searching for 6+ months - Yet consumer spending remains surprisingly resilient For corporate treasurers and CFOs, this divergence creates both risk and opportunity. Our latest research from James Knightley, Padhraic Garvey, and Chris Turner unpacks what this means for your business strategy through 2026. https://lnkd.in/e9MCy6RA

ING served as the Structuring and Administrative Agent and Joint Green Loan Coordinator in DC BLOX's $1.15 billion financing for a transformative new data center campus in Douglas County, Georgia.
