Not enough data
James Knightley's coverage primarily focuses on the finance and economy sectors, with a strong emphasis on citing data to support his analysis. He would likely be interested in pitches that offer access to up-to-date and reliable economic data or insights from credible experts who can provide detailed analysis of economic trends, particularly related to the US economy, Federal Reserve policy, interest rates, inflation, and central bank actions.
Given Knightley’s high reliance on data-driven content, sources able to provide proprietary or exclusive datasets could capture his attention. Additionally, he may appreciate expert commentary that offers nuanced perspectives backed by comprehensive quantitative analysis.
It is evident that James does not have a specific geographic focus but concentrates on developments within developed markets globally.

Since Donald Trump took office in 2017, trade flows and market shares have changed substantially. We think that shift is set to continue under looming tariffs and a new protectionist environment
In this week’s THINK aloud, ING’s James Knightley, Carsten Brzeski, and James Smith discuss the themes that will shape the global economy, inflation and interest rates over the coming year
US core inflation posted a fourth consecutive 0.3% print, showing that progress towards the Fed inflation goal has clearly stalled. Nonetheless, the Fed’s favoured measure of inflation is doing a little better and the jobs market is cooling. We look for another 25bp Fed cut next week, but new Fed forecasts should show a shallower series of cuts in 2025
The Bank of Canada cut its policy interest rate 50bp at a second meeting in a row. Inflation is already at target, growth is disappointing and excess supply in the economy is growing. This will justify further rate cuts ahead but at a slower pace in 2025, having already loosened policy by 175bp since June

The Federal Reserve is expected to cut rates by a further 25bp on 18 December as it continues to move policy from restrictive territory to somewhere closer to neutral. However, with inflation remaining sticky, and President-elect Trump looking to strengthen the US growth performance, the Fed is set to signal a more cautious policy easing profile for 2025
President Trump means higher growth in 2026 and beyond? Oh no he doesn’t! And the UK doesn’t need to raise taxes any further? Oh yes it will! Enter the auditorium of James Smith’s economic pantomime and gear up for 2024’s grand finale

Incoming President Trump promises higher growth in 2026 and beyond? No, he doesn't. And the UK won't raise taxes any further? Yes, it will.
By: James Knightley, Padhraic Garvey, Chris Turner
We got another 25bp policy rate cut from the Fed, but updated projections and Chair Powell’s press conference confirms that the Fed is going to be much more cautious next year with sticky inflation and President Trump’s policy mix meaning a higher hurdle is required to justify rate cuts in 2025
