Goldman Sachs Predicts Strong Growth and Falling Inflation in 2024, But Dimon and Others Caution on Rate Outlook
- Goldman Sachs economists forecast strong 2.5% GDP growth in 2024 along with falling inflation and 3 Fed interest rate cuts
- They argue this isn't a contradiction because supply-side growth prevents labor shortages driving inflation
- Lingering pandemic-era effects like supply chain issues and inventory shortages are fading, exerting further disinflationary pressure
- JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon disagrees, warning investors to brace for potentially much higher interest rates and even stagflation
- Apollo Global's Torsten Slok believes the Fed won't cut rates at all in 2024 due to persistent inflation
