[Goldman Sachs Believes Market Expectations for Fed Rate Hikes Are Too Hawkish, September Rate Hike Highly Unlikely] According to Jintou News, Goldman Sachs stated that market expectations for Federal Reserve rate hikes are overly aggressive. Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatzius wrote in a report that due to weak retail sales data, disappointing employment figures, and continued easing of inflation data, the likelihood of a rate hike at the Fed's September meeting is extremely low. Goldman Sachs believes the market's pricing of the federal funds rate is too hawkish. Data shows that the market has postponed expectations for the next 25 basis point Fed rate hike to January next year.
