U.S. Economic Growth Projected to Remain Strong Through 2026

According to ChainCatcher, Nomura Securities' Chief Economist for Asia, excluding Japan, Robert Subbaraman, anticipates that the U.S. economy will maintain robust growth, with a projected growth rate of 2.5% in the first half of 2026. This outlook is attributed to ongoing investments in artificial intelligence and fiscal expansion. Subbaraman expects the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged in December, with a baseline view of rate cuts in March, June, and September of 2026. Consumer inflation is likely to remain around 3%, but could rise if financial conditions and liquidity improve.
