We’re entering a new capex super-cycle where technology drives productivity, and productivity compounds into long-term wealth.
Fear kept many investors out of past revolutions. This time, the real risk is staying on the sidelines. Thanks @SullyCNBC https://t.co/OKNgV1W0jL
It all starts at the kitchen table — where investing becomes personal, relatable, and part of everyday life.
At @ING our mission is to guide clients across wealth levels — from mass retail to affluent and private banking — each with their own Head-to-Heart conversation.
@Lagarde has brought stability to Europe. Time now to turn stability into momentum. By mobilising household savings into investments - turning caution into participation. It’s about individuals taking responsibility for their own financial future, much like we’ve seen in the US
1. Stocks: all-time high
2. Home Prices: all-time high
3. Gold: all-time high
4. Bitcoin: all-time high
5. National Debt: all-time high
6. Core CPI Inflation: >3% for 41 straight months, longest period of high inflation since early 1990s
7. Fed: cutting rates again next week
@darioperkins Totally agree. In aggregate, consumers are healthy, companies are healthy. The unhealthy ones are the governments. Luckily the US government has the $ reserve currency of the world - which gives them plenty runway for printing
But over the last six months, the baton has moved on from Wall Street to Main Street. There’s more focus on company earnings, consumer spending and the real economy. Whilst expectations around rate cuts have been curtailed. This is relieving and is why the market has legs….
Low rates, QE and the “Fed put” propped up markets for years. But rates went up. And the baton was passed to fiscal stimulus which cushioned the economy. Markets trade on increments and it became an incremental obsession about rates. Lower rates were supposed to fuel markets.
We can talk about the stickiness of the “last mile” of inflation. Or time lags of the impact of higher rates. We can talk about a weakening US economy. Then there’s the geopolitical risks and a polarizing world. Widening gaps between companies- “low market breadth” and in society

When markets are around all time highs, people get worried. We call it “climbing the wall of worry”. Most people look for reasons to be -be. And as with every rally, there are plenty of reasons.
To be successful with all the complexity around us, we need to identify our competitive strength. Have a razor sharp focus on it. And ensure alignment across public and private sector. With bold leadership, that operates with conviction.
Great discussion with @peteraltmaier former Minister of Economic Affairs Germany. And Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, former Secretary of State General at NATO. We spoke about 3 things needed to meet challenges facing private and public sector: Leadership, Vision and a strong Equity Story
Throwing money at problems doesn’t work - especially not looking at Europe relative to the US. Rates and therefore cost of capital is back at more normal levels. Which means business models and initiatives have to be more robust to be economically viable.
In yesterday’s speech Powell reminded us to look at things glass half full instead of half empty…. Let’s celebrate the strength of the economy, low unemployment and strong consumer. Instead of constantly focusing on the struggle around the last mile of inflation.
Sweden’s central bank cuts rates for the first time in 8yrs. Striking to see a European country move ahead of the US in cutting rates. Now all eyes on the ECB. The ECB typically follows the Fed. But the Fed is pushing out rate cuts whilst the ECB communicates more steadfast.
