‘Something’s Got To Give’: Equities and Fixed-Income Markets Present Polar Opposite Outlooks on the US Economy, Says Goldman Sachs Trader
Investors in the equities and fixed-income markets appear to have polar opposite outlooks on the US economy, according to one Goldman Sachs managing director.
Shawn Tuteja, who oversees exchange-traded fund (ETF) and custom baskets volatility trading in Goldman’s Global Banking & Markets division, notes in a new analysis that there are “growing fears” the US economy is headed for a slowdown.
Tuteja says the significant drop in bond yields suggests fixed-income investors expect numerous additional rate cuts from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
“For equities, it’s a different story. The S&P 500 continues to hit record highs. And in fact, it’s the most economically sensitive, low-quality and most speculative names that have led the last leg higher. In other words, equity investors think we’re going to thread the needle; that the Federal Reserve is going to continue to cut interest rates into an economy that is not only stronger than recent jobs data might suggest, but that actually might reaccelerate into 2026 due to fiscal stimulus from the government.
The fixed-income market is much more worried about a potential collapse in the employment data. So something’s got to give. Going forward, economic data releases will be really important, and markets could be extremely reactive to them, since each print helps shed light as to whether the equity market or the fixed income market is on the right side of this disconnect.”
