Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs cuts European gas price forecasts across the board through summer 2025 on lower-than-expected demand.

02

SOCIETE GENERALE

Societe Generale: Non farm payrolls are expected to increase by 190,000 in July, but any increase above 150,000-175,000 is strong growth. The unemployment rate will fall back to 3.5% and average hourly earnings growth will slow to a monthly rate of 0.3%.

03

MUFG

MUFG: According to the Fed's dot plot, the Fed could still raise rates again in 2023. Chairman Powell previously emphasized in his press conference that there are two more inflation and employment reports before the next meeting and they are not ready to signal that. As a result, the September rate decision will remain rooted in dependence on the next data. If the data before the September FOMC meeting is strong, then the Fed could raise rates again by 25 basis points in a row. If the Fed raises rates again and there are no credit events between now and the end of the year, we will revisit our rate path projections and make adjustments as needed. However, at this time, we will not change our federal funds rate path forecast because we believe the long-term and variable lagged effects will hit the economy hard in the second half of the year through early 2024.
