Soft Landing Secured: Global Growth Rebalances as the Fed Nears Its Final Cut

Global macro conditions entering Q4 2025 indicate that the world economy is transitioning from late-cycle tightening to early-stage stabilization. In the U.S., firm Treasury demand and a softer inflation print (3.0% YoY) reinforce expectations of one final 25-bp Fed cut in October, followed by a likely December adjustment. Growth remains services-led, while industrial production and housing show selective weakness. The Eurozone’s recovery is uneven but improving, with inflation hovering just above target and PMIs at multi-month highs, allowing the ECB to stay on hold.

The UK’s inflation persistence and fiscal strain keep policy constrained, while Canada’s disinflation and housing resilience support a dovish stance. Across Asia, China’s industrial uptick masks property fragility, India’s widening trade deficit highlights domestic demand strength, and Singapore’s manufacturing rebound signals a regional export recovery. Financial markets are recalibrating toward equilibrium—bond demand remains robust, equities are rotating toward growth and quality, and commodities are stabilizing amid balanced supply-demand conditions. The global policy mix now converges on measured accommodation, setting the stage for a soft landing rather than a downturn.
