U.S. Recession Risk Drops to 20%, Goldman Sachs Reports Goldman Sachs has reduced its forecast for a U.S. recession in the next 12 months from 25% to 20%, citing recent positive economic data. This revision comes after strong retail sales figures and a decrease in jobless claims, which have alleviated concerns sparked by July’s high unemployment rate. The bank’s chief U.S. economist, Jan Hatzius, noted that continued economic expansion could align the U.S. more closely with other G10 economies. Goldman Sachs maintains its prediction of a 25 basis point interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, with the possibility of a larger cut if the upcoming August jobs report disappoints. « Previous Article Next Article » Share This Article Choose Your Platform: Facebook Twitter Google Plus Linkedin Related Posts Policy Win for Big Banks: Regulatory Relief on Loss Buffers Ahead READ MORE US-Led Rising Debt Across G-7 Stokes S&P and Scope Concerns READ MORE National Debt Set to Surge as Fed Maintains High Interest Rates READ MORE January Inflation Breakdown READ MORE Gold Prices Steady as Investors Await Key U.S. Employment Data READ MORE Add a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
