🇺🇸 U.S. ECONOMY SET FOR STRONG GROWTH, AI BOOSTS OUTLOOK Oxford Economics expects solid U.S. growth in 2026–2027, driven by AI investment, tax incentives, and high-earner spending. GDP is forecast at 2.8% in 2026 and 2.3% in 2027, following a 4.4% annualized gain in Q3 2025. AI and non-tech investments are rising, productivity is improving, and consumer spending is supported by stock-market gains and tax cuts. Inflation is projected to ease to 2.4%, enabling the Fed to cut rates twice next year. Lower immigration and weaker housing demand may further reduce inflation pressures. Overall, the economy is robust but remains sensitive to equity-market performance.(*Walter Bloomberg)
