Goldman Sachs

Goldman Sachs macro strategist Gurpreet Gill comments on the US economy, unemployment and monetary policy.

Goldman Sachs recently issued a report predicting a sharp fall in lithium prices. A separate report by BMI, points to supply constraints driven by frequent project delays. Lithium Americas Corp.’s (NYSE:LAC) Caucharí-Olaroz project is about to begin production in the months to come. It’ll be selling lithium into a much more favourably priced market than when the project was initially proposed back in 2016.

The U.K. is teetering on the edge of recession, say economists at Goldman Sachs, as inflation-battered Britons curtail spending and the Bank of England raises interest rates. The bank’s economists Steffan Ball and Ibrahim Quadri forecast a 0.7% contraction for the second quarter and a 0.1% increase for the third quarter.
