Core Viewpoint - The global economy is entering an uncertain phase characterized by multiple risks, including inflationary pressures and geopolitical tensions, particularly influenced by U.S. policies under the Trump administration [1][3][6]. Economic Outlook - The U.S. is expected to face "stagflation" in the second half of the year, with rising inflation and slowing growth. The Federal Reserve is anticipated to be cautious, delaying interest rate cuts until December, with cuts likely lower than market expectations [1][3][6]. - Core CPI in the U.S. is projected to rebound to 3.3% in Q4, influenced by rising import costs and tariffs [1][4][20]. Tariff and Trade Policy - Trump's use of tariffs is not solely aimed at reducing the trade deficit but also serves various geopolitical and economic purposes. The effectiveness of these tariffs will depend on whether they are implemented as planned [4][10]. - The potential for retaliatory measures from the EU if high tariffs are imposed is significant, and ongoing negotiations are crucial [10]. Federal Reserve Independence - Concerns about the independence of the Federal Reserve are at their highest in decades, with political influences potentially impacting monetary policy decisions [2][25][28]. - The upcoming vacancies in the Federal Reserve Board may provide Trump with opportunities to influence monetary policy further [1][25][26]. Global Economic Dynamics - The global economic landscape is shifting, with the U.S. potentially moving from an exceptional growth phase to a more normalized economic state, leading to a diversification of investments away from the U.S. [6][34]. - Other central banks are expected to have more room for rate cuts compared to the Fed, which may further influence global capital flows [7][40]. Inflation Factors - Factors contributing to rising inflation include tariffs, labor shortages due to immigration policies, and potential fiscal expansions as midterm elections approach [21][22][23]. - The impact of artificial intelligence on inflation is acknowledged, but its deflationary effects are still in early stages and may not significantly counteract inflationary pressures in the short term [31][32].
