Goldman sees rate hikes ahead as slack wrung out of labour market


WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s tax cuts hand him ownership of wherever the US economy turns starting in 2018, and at Goldman Sachs the view is that tighter monetary policy is ahead.

Whatever slack is left in the labor market is seen being eliminated in 2019, pushing the jobless rate to 3.3%, a level not seen in decades, according to a Goldman Sachs analysis, giving Trump’s new Federal Reserve chair a reason to raise rates.
