Goldman Sachs Predicts US Economy's Return to Pre-2008 Conditions by 2024
Goldman Sachs predicts that the global economy and investing landscape are returning to pre-2008 conditions, with a 15% recession probability for the year ahead. The bank expects tailwinds to support global growth and investments as economies outperform expectations. However, there are concerns about the transition to higher interest rates and the potential for distressed debt and troubled balance sheets to emerge. Goldman Sachs anticipates positive returns in rates, credit, equities, and commodities, and foresees a decline in inflation, growth in real household income, and a rebound in manufacturing activity. While there are risks, the bank remains relatively optimistic about the investing environment in 2024.
