Goldman Sachs forecasts 25bp Fed rate cuts in September, November and December

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius spoke on CNBC after the jobs report on Friday.

  • said “there is a rationale” for a 50bp rate cut
  • but 25bp is more likely
  • forecasts three consecutive cuts beginning this month

One caveat:

  • “the Fed leadership is open to 50bp cuts at subsequent meetings if the labor market continues to deteriorate.”
