"The eurozone is recovering, the US is cooling, and China is still weighed by the weak property sector. Big picture, the global economy is converging to more trend-like growth, and this remains our base case for late 2024 and into 2025. The recovery in global trade and industry has faltered recently, driven by a notable slowdown in the eurozone and especially Germany. A sharp rebound is unlikely while rates remain restrictive, and possible new trade tariffs should Trump be re-elected in November pose the biggest risk to the outlook. Disinflation has continued, with progress towards 2% resuming in the US following the hiccup in early 2024. The inflation impact of the Middle East conflict and the rise in shipping tariffs is expected to be limited. The ECB has started lowering interest rates, and we expect falling inflation and a softening labour market to enable the Fed to do the same in September. Still, rates will stay high for some time yet, keeping a lid on the recovery." ABN AMRO Economisch Bureau The August edition of the 'Global Monthly' key views , written by the Global Economic Bureau led by Sandra Phlippen, is already available.
