Key views Global Monthly June 24
Growth indicators are showing signs of a pickup in the eurozone and China, while the US economy is gradually cooling. Big picture, the global economy is slowly converging towards a more trend-like pace of growth, and this remains our base case for the second half of 2024. Global trade and industry are slowly recovering, but a sharp rebound is unlikely while rates remain restrictive, and possible new trade tariffs pose an additional risk. Inflation has fallen significantly, and progress towards the 2% target has resumed in the US following the hiccup in early 2024. The impact of the conflict in the Middle East has receded and the inflation impact of the rise in shipping tariffs is likely to be minimal. 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, and this will keep a lid on the recovery.

Macro Watch - Wage growth: How far does it need to fall?
The key to disinflation continuing will be a timely normalization in wage growth. We estimate wage growth needs to fall to ranges of 2.7-3.0% for the eurozone, 2.2-2.8% for the Netherlands, and 3.3-4.0% for the US in order for to inflation to fall to – and stay at – 2%. But central banks will likely cut rates before wages fall this far – otherwise they could be too late. This is due to the lags with which monetary policy affects the economy.
