Trump appoints Haseltine and Greer, key economic team positions settled
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump nominated Kevin Hassett as the director of the National Economic Council on Tuesday local time, and nominated Jamieson Greer as the U.S. Trade Representative, filling two key positions in his economic team. These two positions will directly influence most of Trump's economic agenda: imposing new tariffs and tax cuts. Greer is a long-time protege and deputy of Robert Lighthizer, who served as Trump's U.S. Trade Representative for four years. His selection highlights the central role tariffs will play in Trump's economic agenda.
Goldman Sachs: Expects Trump's tariff proposal to lead to a 0.9% increase in PCE.
Goldman Sachs economist Jan Hatzius stated that if U.S. President-elect Trump follows through on his plans to impose a 25% tariff on all products entering the U.S. from Mexico and Canada and an additional 10% tariff on Chinese goods after taking office, the U.S. core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index is estimated to rise by 0.9%. PCE is considered an inflation indicator by the Federal Reserve, and the magnitude of its changes may affect interest rate policy. According to Goldman Sachs estimates, the three countries of China, Canada, and Mexico make up 43% of the total U.S. import volume, and imposing tariffs could generate just under $300 billion in tariff revenue for the U.S. However, Hatzius estimates that the Trump administration will not ultimately impose tariffs on all goods from Canada and Mexico.

"You can't do that in two weeks, it takes a bit of time. So it might make sense to slow down in this situation." Gulsby is an FOMC voter for 2025. He has always been one of the more outspoken doves of the Federal Reserve. Gulsby said on Monday, "It's clear" that the Federal Reserve is "on a path that will lead to lower rates, closer to what you might call a neutral level."
UBS Wealth Management: U.S. tariff impact may lead to stagflation, with the S&P 500 index expected to rise to 6600 by the end of next year.
UBS pointed out that in a downside scenario, tariff impacts could even lead to stagflation. On the other hand, negotiations between the U.S. and trading partners are hindered by relevant domestic legislation, which may help mitigate the scope and impact of tariffs. Potential tax reductions and regulatory relaxations may provide additional support to the market. In the base scenario, based on robust U.S. economic growth, declining interest rates, and factors such as the artificial intelligence boom, next year's outlook for U.S. stocks is bullish, with the S&P 500 index expected to rise to 6600 by the end of next year.
