If a cyberattack from a foreign power causes significant economic loss here in the USA, is this an act of war?
What should be the US response to such an event?
It should be proportional. We should not firebomb a country because they released some emails.
However if a country shut down our utility grid; I would be OK with shutting down their utility grid.
One of the bigger problems is proof. Do you know for sure who attacked you? You better be sure.

The problem with just shutting down a utility grid is the assumption that it is just electricity.
A cyber attack on a utility grid could also be blowing up gas lines, water lines, and opening dams among other things.

What grid...?
And yeah, hack them back? They don't have the internet.
The Japs just got pantsed by the Koreans, and I think it's a scream.
