Goldman Sachs on the Fed (rate hike coming in July ’22), US tax plan (less of a risk to equities) & COVID-19

Commentary from Goldman Sachs analysts over the weekend across various, but related, topics:

On the Federal Open Market Committee:

 

  • GS tip a US Fed rate hike in July 2022 (previously were at July 2023)
  • expect the next rate hike in November of 2022 then 2 hikes per year in 2023 and 2024

 

On coronavirus:

 

  • By end-2022, we expect the global effective protection rate against infections to rise by 15pp to nearly 70% on a global GDP-weighted basis, still below the herd immunity threshold to eliminate Delta

 

On the US tax plan:

 

  • the new tax plan appears to pose less of a risk to equities than what we had been assuming
  • Based on the new framework, we estimate 2022 EPS growth could increase to +5% compared with our current forecast of +2%
