ING Think Challenges Rate Hike Consensus with New Webinar Series
A new webinar series by ING Think is questioning the conventional wisdom of Federal Reserve rate hikes. The first episode, titled 'What if... The Fed cuts rates by next summer?', will take place on Thursday, August 6th. James Smith, a Developed Markets Economist at ING, will lead the discussion along with other experts.
The current market consensus is that the Fed will raise interest rates as soon as September. However, the webinar will explore alternative scenarios, including what it would take for the Fed not to hike rates this year and the potential implications of a rate cut in 2027.
The event will cover several key topics, including how Kevin Warsh is reshaping the Federal Reserve and why ING thinks the Fed could cut rates in 2027. The experts will also discuss what their call for the Fed means for the dollar.
