Executive Summary
Inflation is expected to remain persistent and elevated (around 3-3.5%) due to the long, lagged effects of supply shocks from tariffs and geopolitical conflicts, making Federal Reserve rate cuts unlikely.
fiscal position is highly vulnerable due to its large national debt, with the dollar's reserve currency status being the primary factor preventing a fiscal crisis.
Geopolitical risks, particularly in the Middle East, are underappreciated, with significant economic impacts on supply chains for commodities like aluminum and helium expected to manifest in the coming weeks as inventories deplete.
Key underpriced risks in the market include the legal and liability uncertainty for AI companies regarding Section 230 and the growing threat of a broad, systemic cyberattack.
