Global Economic Outlook - Goldman Sachs predicts a robust global economic growth of 2.8% in 2026, surpassing the market consensus of 2.6% [1][2] - The US economy is expected to grow by 2.8%, significantly higher than the market expectation of 2.0%, driven by reduced tariff drag, tax cuts, and a more accommodative financial environment [1][4] - China's economy is projected to grow by 4.8%, exceeding the market forecast of 4.5%, with strong exports offsetting domestic demand weakness [1][2] - The Eurozone is anticipated to grow by 1.3%, above the consensus of 1.1%, supported by fiscal stimulus in Germany and strong growth in Spain [1][2][7] US Economic Forecast - The US economy is expected to benefit from tax cuts, a loose financial environment, and reduced tariff drag, leading to a significant outperformance compared to market consensus [4] - Consumers are projected to receive approximately $100 billion in additional tax refunds in the first half of the year, accounting for 0.4% of annual disposable income [4] - Despite global GDP growth, the labor market remains weak, with employment growth rates in developed economies below pre-pandemic levels [6] Eurozone Economic Forecast - The Eurozone faces structural weaknesses exacerbated by competition from China, including population decline and high energy costs, yet is expected to grow at a "considerable" rate of 1.3% in 2026 [7] - Germany's GDP growth is expected to benefit from significant federal government spending increases, while Southern Europe, particularly Spain, is projected to maintain robust growth [7] Inflation and Monetary Policy - Inflation in the US is expected to moderate, with core PCE inflation currently at 2.3%, and factors such as falling oil prices and increased productivity contributing to a downward trend [8] - The Federal Reserve is anticipated to lower its policy rate by 50 basis points to a range of 3-3.25% in 2026, as inflation concerns are expected to be resolved [10] - The Bank of England is also expected to implement quarterly rate cuts, reaching 3% by the third quarter of 2026 [10] Market Implications - The basic predictions from Goldman Sachs are favorable for stocks and many emerging market assets, with the market already pricing in improved US economic growth and declining inflation [10] - However, concerns about a weak labor market potentially leading to recession fears and skepticism regarding the value of AI-related revenues may increase market volatility [10]
