Fitch: US economic growth in 2025 may be lower than the 1.7% forecast in March

Fitch Ratings stated that, given that tariffs are higher than expected, U.S. economic growth in 2025 may be lower than the 1.7% forecasted in March. The upward pressure on commodity prices caused by tariffs means that the Federal Reserve may become more cautious about further interest rate cuts in the near future; as U.S. tariffs increase, some sovereign countries with high levels of export value-added may face downward rating pressure.
