2025 IAC BV - The Economy and Cost of Capital Post-Trump – Quo Vadis?

Session Description

A year into President Trump’s election, there are opportunities, but also risk factors impacting valuations of U.S. companies and elsewhere. Extending certain tax provisions from the 2017 TCJA and cutting the corporate tax rate cut to 15% for goods 100% “made in America” would benefit businesses. However, enactment of significant tariffs tends to lead to inflation. This makes the Fed’s job more difficult in bringing policy interest rates down to a more neutral level. Political uncertainty will be high, which may lead to a volatile stock market and impact cost of capital.
