Goldman Sachs has adjusted its GDP growth forecast for the U.S. downward to 1.5% from 2.0%, and is now anticipating inflation to potentially increase to 3.5% instead of the previous estimate of 3.0%. Despite these concerns, the financial firm is expecting rate cuts to occur sooner than originally expected, which could offer some relief. The impact of tariffs on global trade is escalating, with Trump's recent "reciprocal tariff" week marking a significant escalation. By April 2, 20% tariffs will be imposed on imports from over 25 countries, affecting an estimated $1.5 trillion worth of goods by April 2025. Canada, China, the European Union, and Mexico are all taking retaliatory measures, adding to global economic uncertainty. Bitcoin (BTC) has concluded its worst Q1 performance since 2018, and analysts are cautioning that challenges may persist. Goldman Sachs has adjusted its outlook on the U.S. economy, now forecasting more rate cuts from the Fed and ECB.
