ICG sees Iran war-driven energy costs slowing US growth in 2027

By Public Technologies
  • ICG expects the Iran war’s impact on energy prices to outweigh the lasting economic effects of the 2026 US midterm elections.
  • Elevated energy prices could keep interest rates higher for longer, weakening growth and earnings in 2027.
  • US bond market turmoil risks are rising as government interest payments reach around 20% of revenues, with little appetite for deficit reduction.
  • Excluding AI investment, estimated US growth is trending around 1.5%, similar to Europe, while earnings remain resilient.
  • Strong private-sector balance sheets keep systemic risks low, but weaker borrowers face increasing pressure from elevated interest rates and energy costs.
