Goldman cuts US consumer spending growth forecast on higher oil prices

Tue, 28 Apr 2026 09:04:10 -0400

Investing.com -- Goldman Sachs lowered its 2026 discretionary cash inflow growth expectations for US consumers to 3.7% from a previous forecast of 4.2% made in early April 2026, marking the second downward revision since January 2026.

The investment bank reduced its disposable personal income growth expectation to 4.7% from 5.0% for 2026.
