Mid-2025 Market and Economic Outlook
Economic growth is slowing in tandem with inflation, while monetary policy has shifted toward a more dovish stance. The market narrative is increasingly focused on deflation risk.
U.S. GDP growth is expected to decelerate, with year-over-year projections falling from above 3% in 2023 to around 2% or lower through 2025. Inflation is moderating as well, with headline CPI anticipated to ease into the mid-2% range.
