May 17: Why Goldman Sachs Cut Its US Growth Forecasts

Updated on

Kostin and JPMorgan Chase & Co.’s Marko Kolanovic say investor fears of imminent recession in the US are overblown -- leaving room for an equities recovery as the year progresses, in Kolanovic’s view. The benchmark S&P 500 has slumped 18% from its January record, approaching bear market territory.
