Federal Reserve interest rate hikes will weigh on stocks this year, Goldman Sachs warned.

  • Goldman Sachs on Friday slashed its end-of-year target for the S&P 500 to 3,600, a .
  • The Fed's aggressive approach to taming inflation will weigh on stocks, the bank said.
  • The benchmark US index has plummeted just under 21% as rising interest rates drive a sell-off.

Goldman Sachs has cut its year-end target for the S&P 500, predicting the benchmark US stock index will fall 4.2% as the Federal Reserve sticks to its aggressive tightening.

The Wall Street bank dropped the benchmark's three-month target from 4,300 to 3,600, and warned that the US central bank's fast pace of interest rate hikes will likely lead to further stock selloffs before the end of 2022.

"The expected path of interest rates is now higher than we previously assumed, which tilts the distribution of equity market outcomes below our prior forecast," the bank's strategists said in a note to clients Thursday. 

"The S&P 500 index actually reached our previous year-end target of 4,300 in mid-August, but the rate complex has subsequently shifted dramatically," added the team, led by chief US equity strategist David Kostin.

US stocks slipped after the Fed on Wednesday hiked interest rates by an outsized 75 basis points for the third time in a row. The S&P 500 closed 0.84% lower at 3,757.99 on Thursday, after hitting a two-month low of 3,749.35 during that session.

Investors have fretted about the interest rate hikes because of their potential impact on economic growth. 

The Goldman Sachs team warned the S&P 500 could fall as low as 3,400 if earnings of its listed companies decline and the Fed's attempts to curb red-hot inflation lead to a "hard landing", where the US suffers a recession.

"The outlook is unusually murky. The forward paths of inflation, economic growth, interest rates, earnings, and valuations are all in flux more than usual, with a wider distribution of potential outcomes," they said. 

But in the near term, Goldman Sachs expects investors will turn their focus to corporate earnings. In the third-quarter earnings season, record-high profit margins will be closely examined, its team said.

Stock investors have come round to the view that a hard landing for the US economy is inevitable, Goldman Sachs said, based on discussions with clients. 

"Most portfolio managers believe that in order to corral inflation, the Fed will have to hike rates sufficiently high that it will result in a US recession at some point during 2023," Kostin's team said.

The bank's strategists said its higher interest rate scenario implies the S&P 500 will still be at 3,600 in six months, but should rise 6% to 4,000 in 12 months.

Goldman Sachs expects another 75 basis point hike at the Fed's November meeting, followed by a 50 basis point rise in December. A hike of 25 basis points in February means policymakers are aiming to raise interest rates to between 4.5% and 4.75%.

I'm Aaron Weinman. The most interesting thing I learned when I first visited a Walmart was the sheer range of goods the retailer has on offer. Turns out that diversity extends to services — specifically banking — too.

Walmart has sewn the seeds for a thriving fintech for some time. In January last year, the retailer said it was pursuing a partnership with venture-capital firm Ribbit Capital, which backed Robinhood.

The next month, Walmart lured Omer Ismail and David Stark, two executives from Goldman Sachs' Marcus, over to work on a fintech initiative.

Now, the company wants to roll out checking accounts for its staff and shoppers.

To be sure, it's a big undertaking.

The US consumer-banking market is saturated with legacy banks like JPMorgan and Bank of America, and fintech upstarts including PayPal and Cash App.

Insider's Ann Gehan, Carter Johnson, and Ben Tobin have identified the key people shaping this effort at its fintech called ONE.

1. Walmart's secretive fintech ONE is building a consumer-banking offering that will complement its retail capabilities. There is plenty of upside, but no doubt, Walmart is entering a crowded space.

The big banks are digging deep into their pockets to offer state-of-the-art mobile apps, while also investing in tech like robo advisors to win over wealthier individuals. Walmart will also go up against the legion of fintech startups that offer myriad third-party electronic payments services or buy now, pay later initiatives.

The retailer, however, does have a 1.6 million-strong US workforce that could benefit from a digital-banking service. It also has an army of customers that frequent stores across the country for everything from staple goods to fishing rods. And the hope is that these loyal customers will bet on Walmart's consumer-banking offering.

ONE has snared people from a host of industries across tech and banking to build out the product and strategy of the business.

  • Goldman Sachs raised its forecasts for the size of Fed rate hikes at the September and November meetings. 
  • The investment bank late Wednesday said it now sees a September increase of 75 basis points and a November increase of 50 basis points. 
  • Fed officials have delivered hawkish comments recently that suggest another jumbo-sized move at this month's meeting. 

Goldman Sachs raised its forecasts for interest rate increases at the Federal Reserve's next two meetings as monetary policy makers have been asserting the view that more rate hikes are needed to bring down inflation. 

The investment bank now expects the Federal Open Market Committee to raise the Fed Funds target by 75 basis points in September and by 50 basis points in November. It previously projected increases of 50 and 25 basis points, respectively. 

"[Fed] officials have sounded hawkish recently and have seemed to imply that progress toward taming inflation has not been as uniform or as rapid as they would like," Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius said in a late Wednesday note. 

He also outpointed a Wednesday report by The Wall Street Journal that said the Fed appears to be on a path to raise interest rates 75 basis points this month following Chairman Jerome Powell's pledge to reduce inflation even if it increases unemployment.

The WSJ report is "a likely hint from the Fed leadership" that a three-quarter-point percentage increase will take place at the September 20-21 meeting, said Hatzius, adding that hawkishness is overriding the case for slowing the pace of tightening that Powell outlined at the July meeting. 

Goldman expects another rate hike in December, 25 basis points, which would bring the Fed Funds rate to a range of 3.75% to 4% by the end of 2022. The Fed has already raised interest rates four times, to a range of 2.25% to 2.5%. The Fed raised its key rate by 75 basis points at its past two meetings. 

Powell reiterated his anti-inflation message on Thursday at the Cato Institute's 40th Annual Monetary Conference. "I can assure you that my colleagues and I are strongly committed to this project and we will keep at it until the job is done," Powell said, according to CNBC. 

Fed Vice Chair Lael Brainard has also been among the Fed's hawkish voices. "We are in this for as long as it takes to get inflation down," she said in a speech in New York on Wednesday. Cleveland Fed President Loretta Mester also spoke on Wednesday. "I'm not even convinced that inflation's peaked yet," she reportedly said on a Market News International webcast. 

Now pricing in a rate hike path of 75-50-25 points for the next three meetings, Goldman Sachs also said its own financial conditions index has tightened on the hawkish shift in expectations. 

"This should be enough to keep growth on a solidly below-potential path in the second half of 2022. How the drag from tighter financial conditions will net out with other key growth impulses in 2023 is more uncertain, and we could imagine the hiking cycle extending beyond this year," said Hatzius.

IN 2010 GOLDMAN SACHS created a “business standards” committee to try to repair the reputational damage the financial crisis had done. Clients and transactions were to be screened for ethical shortcomings. Charges of money-laundering and bribery filed by federal prosecutors in a Brooklyn court on November 1st suggest that the investment bank had diagnosed a real problem, if not found the solution.

The allegations relate to work done by Goldman for 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a sovereign-wealth fund set up in 2009, shortly after Najib Razak became Malaysia’s prime minister. Since 2015 investigators in various countries, including America, Singapore, Switzerland and latterly Malaysia itself, have been trying to trace the money it raised and channelled through a maze of financial institutions and shell companies. According to the filing in New York, funds were misappropriated to buy paintings, luxury properties and jewellery (including a necklace costing $ 27m), and to…

Goldman Sachs has upgraded Ford to a buy rating from neutral, with a $ 12 price target that implies a potential 30% upside to the struggling automaker’s. 

“While we still expect a downward earnings trajectory into 2019 (North America profit under-pressure), we believe next year will represent trough earnings and the combination of a refreshed product cadence globally as well as cost improvements from strategic initiatives will begin to take hold,” David Tamberrino, Goldman’s automotive analyst, said in a note to clients Monday, according to the Detroit Free Press

If you’re not an avid follower of British retail banking, you might not have noticed that last week Goldman Sachs quietly launched its Marcus savings account in the UK.

There was little fanfare beyond the press around the UK launch of Goldman’s first foray into consumer banking, after 150 years of catering to the rich and powerful around the world. 

Named for one of the bank’s founders, Marcus Goldman, Marcus first launched in the US in 2016, and is part of an effort to diversify revenue sources as traditional sources of income lag. Marcus has to date written over $ 2 billion worth of loans in the US.

There are early signs Marcus’ UK launch has been a success. Goldman has not yet released any data about customer numbers but Des McDaid, who is leading the project, described the number of users signing up as “stunning.”  

“Numbers have exceeded even our most ambitious expectations,” he said.

Sure, having a bank account with Goldman Sachs sounds cool, but what is Marcus actually like to use?

Business Insider decided to give the bank’s basic savings account — the only Marcus product currently available in the UK — a trial run. Here’s what we found.

Besides the backing of one of the financial world’s most recognisable names, what stands out most about Marcus’ savings account is its interest rate — 1.5%!

YouTube/Marcus by Goldman Sachs

That’s split into a 1.35% basic rate, and an introductory bonus rate of 0.15% for the first year of use. Goldman hasn’t given any indication if it plans to increase or decrease this rate any time soon.

Regardless of the bonus rate, 1.35% is among the best interest rates available for savers on the British high street.

Marcus’ launch coincided with me looking for a new savings account after I finally got sick of the tiny 0.2% interest rate I was getting on my account with a major UK high street bank.

A 0.2% interest rate is so low that it’s almost pointless for saying. $ 10,000 in an account with that interest would give you just $ 10,020 by the end of the year and, after 10 years, just $ 10,201.

Compare that to a 1.5% rate, where after one year your savings would be worth $ 10,150, and $ 11,650 after 10 years.

Signing up for Marcus is a pretty straightforward process.

Marcus has no physical presence, so sign up must be done online. Given that the accounts are targeted at millennials, that’s probably not going to be much of an issue for prospective customers.

I set my account up on Marcus’ launch morning in the UK, and the whole process took less than 15 minutes. I had some of my savings in the account in less than 30 minutes.
