  • Goldman Sachs cut its S&P 500 target and raised its recession forecast. The bank now sees a 35% chance of a recession in the next 12 months.

The article from Business Insider discusses Goldman Sachs' outlook on the stock market, predicting a potential correction in the S&P 500 by 2025 due to several economic factors. Analysts at Goldman Sachs, including David Kostin, suggest that the market might face challenges from persistent inflation, high interest rates, and the possibility of a recession. They highlight that while the market has been buoyed by expectations of Federal Reserve rate cuts, these expectations might be overly optimistic. The report also mentions the impact of tariffs, particularly those from the U.S.-China trade tensions, which could further strain corporate earnings. Despite these concerns, there's an acknowledgment that sectors like technology might still perform well due to their growth potential and resilience. However, the overall sentiment leans towards caution, with a warning that investors should brace for volatility and possibly a significant market downturn.
