The tax bill cuts the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%, from January 2018. Global corporate taxation will move to a territorial regime, with a one-off tax on foreign investments to transition to the new system.
The tax cuts pose upside risks to our 2018-19 US growth forecasts. They come at a time of robust cyclical momentum, driven by solid synchronised global growth, and a sharp pick-up in domestic oil production.
There are also upside risks to our Fed rates profile. We see two hikes in March and June, but there is a rising possibility of additional hikes, depending on the impact of tax cuts on business confidence. Ultimately, wage growth and core inflation will be key.
