1 In the US, activity has been buoyant so far, largely thanks to tax cuts. For the foreseeable period, a slowdown is more than a possibility Interest rates hikes and tariffs increases on worth $3bn of imports will start to weigh on firms profitability, then activity The downward adjustment could be sizeable in highly leveraged sectors such as energy and IT As a consequence, the monetary tightening could rapidly come to an end, after a supplementary -75 bps hike in key rates Long term-bond yields would also stabilize, at around the 3pct level. The Euro area, the recovery is losing momentum, with some countries like Italy now stalling Extra-EU trade is less dynamic, in line with fading external demand, in particular coming from EMEs Inflation is expected to come-back below the 2pct level, as a consequence of falling oil prices The ECB will stop its net asset purchases as off the 1 st January of 219, while keeping rates unchanged up to the end of year This may cause a (slight) rebound in bond yields as well as in the value of euro.
