  • Consumer sentiment and spending will remain strong in 2025, with outsize gains for discretionary stocks, with some outperformance in staples, too, Goldman said.

The article from Business Insider discusses Goldman Sachs' outlook on consumer spending and stock market sectors for 2025. Despite concerns about a potential recession, Goldman Sachs predicts that consumer spending will remain robust, driven by factors such as low unemployment, wage growth, and accumulated savings from the previous years. The bank highlights that sectors like consumer discretionary, which includes companies like Amazon and Nike, are expected to perform well due to continued consumer strength. However, they caution that sectors sensitive to interest rates, like real estate and utilities, might face challenges if rates remain high. Additionally, Goldman Sachs notes a shift towards value stocks over growth stocks, suggesting that investors might find better opportunities in sectors like financials and industrials, which could benefit from economic recovery and infrastructure spending. The overall message is one of cautious optimism, with an emphasis on the resilience of consumer spending underpinning market performance.
