Goldman Sachs anticipates rate cuts only by late 2026, citing persistent inflation, high energy prices, and a robust labor market. Conversely, Citigroup argues that inflation is sector-specific and temporary, lacking broad-based spread.

# Goldman and Citi split on inflation outlook as Fed weighs options

Goldman’s cautious stance: Goldman Sachs expects rate cuts only by late 2026, citing persistent inflation, elevated energy prices, and a strong labor market. Citi’s narrower view: Citi argues inflation is limited to a few sectors and lacks the broad-based spread seen in past cycles, suggesting it may be temporary. Why it matters: The Fed’s policy path could hinge on whether inflation proves persistent or fades, shaping bond yields, mortgage rates, and investor strategies.
