  • Negative Effects of the Trade War Offset by the AI Boom and the Industrial Renaissance

    Negative Effects of the Trade War Offset by the AI Boom and the Industrial Renaissance

    Contrary to widespread fears about the economic outlook, key credit indicators are turning more bullish. Default rates for high yield debt and loans have peaked, along with delinquency rates for auto loans and credit cards, see charts below.

    Three factors explain why corporate default and consumer delinquency rates are moving lower:

    1) Uncertainty related to the trade war is significantly lower than its peak during Liberation Day.

    2) The ongoing AI boom is boosting the buildout of data centers and related energy infrastructure. Simultaneously, higher stock prices are supporting consumer spending.

    3) Investors are increasingly recognizing that we are in the early stages of an industrial renaissance across sectors like aerospace, defense, manufacturing, biotech and technology/automation.

    In summary, while the trade war remains a mild drag on growth, its impact is being more than offset by the tailwinds from the AI boom and the industrial renaissance. Consequently, there is a growing upside risk that economic growth will reaccelerate over the coming quarters.
