The analysts, noting the limited time frame until the May Federal Reserve (Fed) meeting and the necessity for additional inflation data, now believe that their previous anticipation of a rate cut in May is improbable.
Meanwhile, they have adjusted their forecast to include four 25 basis point cuts throughout the year, postponing any potential rate adjustments to the following year.

Despite these changes, Goldman Sachs maintains its forecast for an unchanged terminal rate ranging between 3.25 per cent and 3.5 per cent.
