  • Goldman Sachs: Postponing the Fed's first rate cut from July to September

Goldman Sachs adjusted the forecast for when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates for the first time and postponed the original July judgment until September.

Goldman Sachs maintains the judgment that it expects the Federal Reserve to “cut interest rates once every quarter or every two meetings,” which means that the second rate cut has been postponed from October to December as previously anticipated.
