Monthly Macro & Strategy | Is the U.S. economy suddenly not so exceptional?

September 10, 2024

The U.S. economy has outperformed most of its peers in recent years, leading to the emergence of the term “U.S. exceptionalism” as a carry-all concept for everything from the government’s ability to inflate its public debt to the expensive valuation of its stock market.

Highlights:

  • Despite growing fears of an American recession in 2025, we believe that the world's largest economy is in the middle of a normalization process.
  • Recent yield curve movements suggest investors are doubtful of the Federal Reserve's ability to achieve a soft landing.
  • The honeymoon between Kamala Harris and American voters continues, but the electoral college still favors Donald Trump. The most likely scenario is a divided government.
