Chicago-Blackrock Rick Rimer is sure that the highest levels of all time may rise further in the second half of 2025, as inflation has decreased due to artificial intelligence.

The investment chief of global fixed income, artificial intelligence, said that productivity gains will balance any hit from tariffs to inflation, and this would be a one -time adjustment for the US economy rather than an ongoing challenge.
Considering the reliability of growth services rather than more cyclical goods, the US economy is not likely to fall into a stagnation, he added.
