The U.S. election results will shift the economic landscape, particularly if the Republicans also manage to hold onto the House. However, there are still plenty of questions around the extent to which the campaign rhetoric translates into policy reality. The lean will certainly be to more tax relief, although the positive growth impact will be countered somewhat by broad trade tariffs and uncertainty, accompanied by a firmer U.S. dollar and higher bond yields. The latter are driven by bigger budget deficits, modestly higher inflation risks, and possibly less Fed easing than previously expected. On balance, this puts some upside risk for our 2% growth call for 2025, but tax relief will take time and so the major impact on growth may be more of a 2026 story. For the Fed, rates are still on track to fall 25 bps this week, and likely by 25 bps again in December, but we look for a slower pace of rate reductions in 2025, with the terminal rate now likely 3.25%-to-3.50% (50 bps higher than previous).
