More on Goldman Sachs shifting their Federal Reserve rate cut forecast

Justin had the news from GS on Friday:

Noting that GS were slow getting on this train:

  • markets have ruled out both June and July for quite some time now

Once the September cut is in, then they expect cuts once a quarter, ie a second cut in 2024 in December.
