About GoldmanSeesNoSeptHike

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said in an Aug 16 note that a September Fed rate hike is very unlikely, citing falling retail sales, softer employment and cooling inflation. July retail sales fell 0.6% month over month, CPI and PPI both eased, and July nonfarm payrolls unexpectedly dropped by 23,000. Reports put market-implied odds of a September hold at about 69%. A hold is now the base case, but coming jobs and inflation data could still reset rate expectations.
