Fitch Ratings stated in its latest global economic outlook that it expects global economic growth to slow to 2.3% this year, well below trend levels and also below 2.9% in 2024. At the same time, Fitch Ratings lowered its forecast for US economic growth from 2.1% in December last year to 1.7%, and lowered its growth forecast for 2026 from 1.7% to 1.5%. Fitch Ratings stated that tariff increases will lead to higher prices for US consumers, lower real wages, increase business costs, and the sharp increase in policy uncertainty will impact business investment. It is estimated that the tariff impact will raise US inflation by 1% in the near term, and we believe that the Fed will delay further easing measures until the fourth quarter of 2025. We now expect the Fed to only cut interest rates once this year, but with the economy slowing and tariff levels stabilizing, we expect three more rate cuts in 2026. (FXStreet)

Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs, clarified on Sunday that they will not create a new token for the product Horizon proposed by Aave. The company recently introduced Horizon, aimed at integrating real-world assets into decentralized finance, sparking debate within the Aave community. A temperature check was conducted inviting the community to provide feedback on the release of Horizon's RWA products for institutions. The controversial part of the proposal indicated that if a token were to be created, the Aave DAO might receive a 15% allocation and revenue-sharing arrangement. This raised concerns that the new token could dilute the value of existing AAVE tokens and undermine AAVE's focus as the sole governance and utility token. The opposition was so strong that Marc Zeller of the Aave Chan Initiative publicly stated that he would not support the current form of the proposal. Kulechov clarified the situation to X, stating that the Aave DAO is not interested in introducing additional tokens, and developers will respect this consensus. With the token plan canceled, it is currently unclear whether Aave Labs will continue with the deployment of Horizon.
