Goldman Sachs analyzes global macro trends, highlighting a delayed Fed cutting cycle and a strengthening Chinese Renminbi. The report emphasizes FX carry strategies and records in the US ETF market despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East.

Key Takeaways

  • 1.Goldman Sachs has pushed back its forecast for Federal Reserve rate cuts to December 2026 and March 2027 due to persistent energy-driven inflation.
  • 2.The firm maintains a bullish outlook on the Chinese Renminbi (CNY), forecasting a move to 6.50 against the USD in 12 months based on trade surpluses and undervaluation.
  • 3.Japanese yen (JPY) intervention by the MoF is viewed as having limited long-term success without a hawkish pivot by the Bank of Japan or a shift in US recession risks.
