Goldman Sachs announced on Monday a revision to its forecast for U.S. interest rates in 2025, highlighting anticipated rate reductions due to less impactful tariffs and a fragile labor market.

The Wall Street giant is now predicting three separate 25 basis point rate cuts in September, October, and December, diverging from its earlier forecast of a single cut this year. Analysts noted that previous concerns over inflation linked to tariffs have lessened.

While other major banks, including Citigroup and Wells Fargo, expect a cumulative 75 basis point reduction, UBS projects even steeper cuts by 2025. The upcoming U.S. jobs report for June could further influence rate decisions, as signs of a weakening labor market emerge.
