Fitch Lowers World Growth Forecast Amid Tariffs Chaos
The ratings agency cut its U.S. 2025 growth forecast to 1.7% from 2.1%, a level well below the growth rates of close to 3.0% in both 2023 and 2024. It also lowered its U.S. GDP forecast for 2026 to 1.5% from 1.7%. Fiscal easing in China and Germany will cushion the impact of higher U.S. import tariffs, but growth in the eurozone this year will still be slower, while Mexico and Canada will experience technical recessions due to the scale of their U.S. trade exposures, it added. World growth is set to slow to 2.3% in 2025, well below trend and down from 2.9% in 2024, Fitch said. It will remain weak at 2.2% in 2026. The downgrades by Fitch follow similar moves by the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development this week, with a number of private-sector forecasts also moving in the same direction. source : wsj

How often do market corrections lead to a recession in the US?
There have been 60 S&P 500 corrections including the most recent one, according to Deutsche Bank analysis. Historically, in 12% of corrections, a recession had already begun in the previous 12 months. 32% of the time a recession took place within the next 12 months. In 56% of corrections, the US avoided an economic downturn within the next 12 months. In other words, market corrections are only accompanied by a recession ~44% of the time. Can we avoid a recession this time? Source: The Kobeissi Letter
👉 The Bank of Japan held interest rates on Wednesday as the rising risk of a global trade war and potential downturn in the US weighed on Japan’s hope for a sustained economic revival.
👉The unanimous decision, which came at the conclusion of a two-day meeting of the Japanese central bank’s policy board, left the short term policy rate at about 0.5 per cent. 👉The result was widely forecast by economists and had been priced in by markets, according to traders. 👉In a statement accompanying the decision, the BoJ warned that “high uncertainties” remained around Japan’s economic activity and prices. The central bank made particular reference to the “evolving situation regarding trade and other policies in each jurisdiction”. Source: FT
