Economic uncertainties will continue to weigh on the outlook for the global #MachineryandEquipment 🏗️ sector. Persistent economic and political uncertainty will keep new orders muted in 2024 as both manufacturers and buyers adopt a wait and see approach. But looking ahead, sales of metals & mining equipment should see continued growth as the net-zero transition increases demand for machinery to exploit key raw materials such as aluminum, copper, lithium, nickel and rare earth minerals.

🌎 This week our economists look at the return of Trump and the implications of a Republican sweep scenario: 1. Inflation, GDP and Fed Funds outlook: President Trump’s victory at the US elections and the likely full Republican control of the Congress do not change our forecasts for US GDP much but we now expect inflation to rise to 2.9% and 3.4% in 2025 and 2026. Fed Funds rates are expected to be stuck at 4.0% in 2025 and 4.25% in 2026. 2. Fiscal policy: We expect that President Trump will push through a fiscal package of around 0.5% of GDP by the end of 2025 (net of savings), as well as the full renewal of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, bringing the total fiscal package to 1.6% of GDP. 3. Trade policy: President Trump is expected to increase US import tariffs as early as Q2 2025 through an executive order, initially raising tariffs to 25% for Chinese imports and to 5% for imports from the rest of the world, excluding Canada, Mexico and critical goods. We estimate USD135bn worth of global exports would be at risk, equal to 4% of the projected global export gains for 2025-26. 4. Capital markets: The overall market response was more muted than in 2016 as much of the "Trump trade" had already been priced. Looking ahead, we expect US long-term interest rates to remain high, influenced by rising inflation expectations, less monetary easing and persistent fiscal deficits, and a small boost for US risky assets in 2024.
