Fitch Warns AI Investment Pullback Could Trigger US Recession and Slow Global Growth
Fitch Ratings warns that a sharp correction in equity markets and reduced investment in artificial intelligence (AI) could push the US economy into recession in 2027, with GDP potentially contracting by 0.6%. This scenario also risks dragging global growth below 1%, affecting regions like the eurozone, China, Canada, Mexico, and technology-focused economies such as South Korea. The AI boom currently supports US growth through technology spending and equity wealth, but elevated valuations and uncertain future profits pose risks if market corrections occur.
