In its August 2025 update, the economic forecasting team has raised its projections for annual real GDP growth across several key economies, including the United States, Canada, the eurozone, the United Kingdom, and mainland China. These upward revisions reflect stronger-than-expected economic momentum and improved trade conditions following adjustments to reciprocal tariff policies. n nConversely, growth expectations for India and Brazil have been scaled back for both 2025 and 2026. This downward adjustment stems primarily from the impact of higher U.S. import duties than initially anticipated, which are expected to weigh on export performance and industrial output in these emerging markets. n nFinancial markets have responded positively to the revised trade framework announced in August, particularly as most partner nations now face lower tariff rates compared to the initial round imposed in April. This shift has helped stabilize investor confidence and supported asset valuations globally. n nMeanwhile, indicators of slowing activity in certain developing economies suggest a policy pivot among some central banks. Institutions in countries like Brazil and Russia appear to be moving away from tight monetary settings, potentially paving the way for rate cuts to stimulate domestic demand. n— news from Seeking Alpha n
