Publication Time:2024-08-02 22:22:06
A significant player in the global financial arena, Goldman Sachs has released its latest forecast, indicating that the Federal Reserve System (commonly referred to as the Fed) plans to start a series of three consecutive interest rate reductions beginning in September. Each reduction is expected to be 25 basis points. This initiative aims to counteract uncertainties in the global economic landscape and potential pressures on economic growth. Of note, Goldman Sachs’ analysis posits that if the upcoming non-farm employment report for August demonstrates further signs of sluggish job growth, the Fed might contemplate adopting more radical monetary policy measures. This could include cutting interest rates by 50 basis points at the September meeting. This scenario underscores market anticipation that, in light of current economic circumstances, the Fed might require more proactive policy interventions to spur economic growth.
