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

The value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months.
Hedgefund short sellers have made $16.2bn betting against Tesla’s shares as the value of Elon Musk’s electric car company has halved over the past three months. Traders positioned to make money from falls in the share price have accumulated the paper profits since the stock’s closing high on December 17, according to data provider S3 Partners. Tesla’s market value has plunged by more than $700bn over the same period, wiping more than $100bn from Musk’s net worth. The Tesla chief executive’s public interventions in European politics including support for far-right parties have contributed to falling car sales across Europe, while the swingeing cuts he is making to federal government spending as head of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency have also sparked a backlash.
