Goldman Sachs have been consistently revising their probability of a US recession in 12 months lower and lower. They have been consistently under consensus too . Good for them.

Have it at 15% now, from most recent forecast at 20%.

Goldman Sachs chief economist Jan Hatzius:

  • "We have further reduced our 12-month US recession probability back to 15%, from 20%" in July"
  • "This change reflects continued encouraging inflation news, a favourable real income outlook, and the decline in the jobs-workers gap."
