Core conclusion · Tlines extraction
TD Economics' September 2026 forecast expects the Middle East escalation and U.S.-Canada tariff dispute to keep oil and bond yields elevated, prompting an upward oil revision and additional central bank tightening. U.S. real GDP is tracking 2.8% in Q3, with 2026 average growth at 2.2%. Core PCE inflation is projected to cool through 2027, allowing a few rate cuts after the Fed funds target peaks at 4.25% in Q4-26.

Key arguments
- Middle East escalation and U.S.-Canada tariff dispute lack near-term off-ramps, raising the oil price forecast.
- Bond yields have risen sharply with oil as markets price higher inflation and more central bank tightening.
- Higher yields will ripple through, leading to downgrades in residential investment and trimmed household spending in H1-27.
- Inflation should cool through 2027 once tightening is sufficient, paving the way for a few rate cuts.
