James Pethokoukis shares Morgan Stanley's outlook, which features a base scenario of gradual de-escalation with Iran, a temporary spike in headline inflation, a patient Federal Reserve, and continued trend growth.
The analysis also considers four alternative scenarios, highlighting potential variations in global financial and economic conditions.
Pethokoukis recently cited Goldman Sachs research finding that AI is currently raising U.S. inflation, despite expectations of improved productivity and growth over time (AI will boost productivity and growth, but is increasing inflation). He also referred to Morgan Stanley research indicating that AI is pushing up U.S. unemployment by 0.1 point, with no substantial labor replacement (AI is raising U.S. unemployment by just 0.1 point). These earlier notes add context to ongoing discussions about economic risks and central bank policy.
