Global Market Shifts Challenge U.S. Exceptionalism, Says Goldman Sachs

Add to Favorite
Added to Favorite


Introduction
Goldman Sachs analysts have identified two major shifts in global markets that challenge the long-held notion of U.S. exceptionalism. In a note released on Monday, the investment bank highlighted that a sharp re-rating lower of U.S. growth coupled with a substantial fiscal stimulus in Germany is altering the balance of global economic leadership. With U.S. growth expectations now revised to 1.7% in 2025 from 2.4%—mainly due to tariff volatility and broader policy uncertainty—the landscape is shifting. At the same time, Germany’s post-election fiscal measures, including increased defense and infrastructure spending, are garnering investor favor.

Key Takeaways

Revised U.S. Growth Outlook:Goldman Sachs now forecasts U.S. GDP growth of 1.7% in 2025, down from 2.4%, reflecting heightened trade policy concerns and tariff-induced uncertainty.
Fiscal Impulse in Germany:Germany’s robust fiscal proposals, particularly in defense and infrastructure, are reshaping investor sentiment and signaling a shift in global economic leadership.
Diminishing U.S. Policy Support:The traditional “policy put” from the U.S. government and the Federal Reserve is fading, as officials signal that a recession cannot be ruled out and rate cuts remain off the table.
Global Investor Exposure:With significant U.S. assets held by global investors, further market adjustments could occur unless there’s a notable policy shift.

In-Depth Analysis
U.S. Growth Concerns
Goldman Sachs attributes the downward revision of U.S. GDP growth forecasts to persistent tariff volatility and policy uncertainty under the current administration. As markets have already priced in an even sharper slowdown—equivalent to a 150-basis-point downgrade in one-year-ahead GDP growth—investors are increasingly nervous about the U.S. economic outlook. Recent data shows a growing concern that, without a decisive policy shift, the U.S. may face a recession.
Germany’s Fiscal Resurgence
In contrast, Germany is emerging as a beacon of fiscal stimulus. Post-election fiscal proposals signal a major shift in spending priorities, with aggressive investments in defense and infrastructure. According to Goldman Sachs, this fiscal impulse not only bolsters Germany’s growth prospects but also reduces the likelihood of very poor growth and low ECB policy rates. This renewed spending is attracting investor interest and could serve as a counterbalance to U.S. economic challenges.
Shifting Investor Sentiment
With global economic risks mounting, especially in the U.S. and China, Goldman Sachs warns that investors can no longer rely on a consistent “policy put” from Washington or the Fed. The lack of predictable policy intervention has led to uncertainty in spending decisions, potentially increasing recession risks. This cautious sentiment is evident across various asset classes, suggesting that market participants are bracing for further adjustments.

Conclusion
Goldman Sachs’ analysis highlights a significant shift in the global economic balance, driven by a decline in U.S. growth expectations and a strong fiscal stimulus in Germany. With U.S. tariff policies and broader economic uncertainties eroding traditional confidence in American markets, global investors are increasingly looking to European fiscal strength as a counterweight. As the U.S. faces the possibility of a recession without a clear policy floor, the coming months will be crucial for determining the future direction of global markets.
