Goldman Sachs is anticipating slow economic growth through the rest of the year—and President Trump’s widespread new tariffs are to blame.
“As the growing real income drag from tariff-related price increases offsets the boost from easier financial conditions,” gross domestic production will grow at a 1.1 percent annual rate through the rest of the year, chief economist Jan Hatzius said in a briefing covered by CNBC. “Even a one-time price increase will eat into real income, at a time when consumer spending trends already look shaky.”
