-1.13%
must fall 14% to beneath 3,400, the yield on the 5-year word

“If solely a extreme recession—and a sharper Fed response to ship it—will tame inflation, then it’s possible that the draw back to each equities and authorities bonds might nonetheless be substantial, even after the injury that we’ve got already seen,” mentioned the strategists.

By the best way, Goldman headed into the brand new 12 months predicting the S&P 500 would close 2022 at 5,100.
