Economists at Goldman Sachs cut their U.S. growth forecast for the fourth quarter in half, to 3% from 6%. “We think it is now clear that Congress will not attach additional fiscal stimulus to the continuing resolution. This implies that after a final round of extra unemployment benefits that is currently being disbursed, any further fiscal support will likely have to wait until 2021,” the economists said. The continuing resolution is a reference to the extension of funding beyond the September-ending fiscal year, which the U.S. House has already passed.
Ajay Rajadhyaksha, a New York-based strategist for U.K. bank Barclays, told clients that “the valuation gap between growth and value equities is now at such an extreme that value stocks offer positive asymmetry on the next leg of the recovery, which should help European and other non-U.S. indices.”
