Goldman Sachs

In each episode of "Exchanges," people from the firm share their insights on developments shaping industries, markets and the global economy.

Goldman Sachs Exchanges

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has steered the central bank into an era of less transparency. Former Fed governors Donald Kohn and Stephen Miran, as well as Goldman Sachs Chief Economist and Head of Goldman Sachs Research Jan Hatzius, discuss on the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast the merits of Fed communication and how it affects financial markets. The episode is based on the latest Top of Mind report. 

Key takeaways: 

 Kohn says there is a “golden mean” in which financial markets have some information from the Fed, such as a narrative that helps investors process incoming data, without central bank officials providing too much specific information about their policy plans.

 Reducing forward guidance would improve the signal that financial markets provide, and the additional volatility is worth the trade-off, Miran says. He argues that too much guidance from Fed officials can increase volatility in the longer run.

 Hatzius says markets will always price what they think the Fed will do—not what they think the Fed should do—even if the central bank provides less information about how it adjusts policy in reaction to economic data.

Dipan Patel on Permira’s ‘Artisanal’ Approach to Private Equity

Global data center power demand could rise 170% by 2030 from 2025 levels according to Goldman Sachs Research’s Brian Singer and Carly Davenport. They joined hosts Allison Nathan and George Lee on the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast to discuss how data centers will source that power, the key bottlenecks, and the impact of growing pushback from some local communities. 

Key takeaways: 

 The rise in power demand from AI more broadly is forecast to be the equivalent of adding another Japan to the world’s power consumption by 2030 compared to the start of 2024. 

 Goldman Sachs Research sees seven key binding constraints for data center power today including price, policy, and people. Delays for connecting data centers to regional US power grids are as long as seven years. 

 The Mid-Atlantic region should remain the largest US data center power market until at least 2030, but the Midwest is set to overtake Texas for second place.

The Outlook for Data Center Power Demand as AI Token Use Grows

Key takeaways:

 The "demo versus product" gap: An AI demo is judged on its best day, but an institutional-grade product is judged on its worst. Building reliable financial tools requires rigorous, auditable grounding frameworks to avoid hallucinations and ensure every output can be traced back to a verified source.

 Don't bet against the model: Developers should avoid wasting resources on complex workarounds for temporary constraints on models that are evolving rapidly. Instead, they should focus on elements that models cannot natively learn: details specific to the firm, such as proprietary data or how data sets are connected to each other.

 Tackling legacy constraints: Successful innovation lies in redesigning workflows from first principles rather than simply automating legacy bottlenecks to do the same tasks faster.

In this episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges, Chris Churchman, head of Marquee, Goldman Sachs’ digital platform for institutional and corporate clients, talks about building effective artificial intelligence (AI) products for institutional investors.

Churchman, who is also co-chair of the Global Banking & Markets AI Working Group, describes an ongoing shift from a world where users must learn software to one where software learns the user. He tells hosts Allison Nathan of Goldman Sachs Research and George Lee, co-head of the Goldman Sachs Global Institute, about the challenges of grounding generative AI in hard facts, and emphasizes the need to design systems that enhance human reasoning rather than outsourcing critical thinking to machines.

Wellington’s Jean Hynes on the Art of Investing and Finding New Markets

The US and Japan coordinated on the biggest currency market intervention in 15 years, helping to stabilize a weakening yen. Karen Fishman, senior FX strategist in Goldman Sachs Research, and Praneet Shah, global head of FX options trading in Global Banking & Markets, discuss why the US joined the action, why the yen still appears undervalued, and whether another intervention might follow.

Key takeaways: 

 The scale of Japan’s intervention was historic, but the US role was symbolic. Japan's operation, estimated to be worth up to $85 billion over July 30 and July 31, was its largest two-day intervention on record outside of October 2011. The US leg was much smaller, but pushed the yen further by signaling the US’ willingness to help. 

 Washington's involvement was likely aimed at limiting volatility in US markets. The timing of US support coincided with some volatility in US interest rates, in addition to other factors. 

 Intervention may buy time, but it is a short-term measure. In the longer term, policy measures convincing Japanese investors to shift back towards Japanese assets could help reverse the yen's low valuation.

Steven Tananbaum: The Evolution of Credit Investing and AI Opportunities

Credit markets are playing a growing role in the buildout of artificial intelligence, with nearly $500 billion of AI-related debt issuance so far in 2026, according to estimates from Goldman Sachs Research. Amanda Lynam, head of credit strategy research, and Zach Ablon, head of the credit sales desk in Global Banking & Markets, discuss why cash-rich tech giants are turning to bond markets, the potential risks for institutional investors, and how alternative financing channels—including private credit, infrastructure funds, and high-yield markets—are being used to fill the funding gap.

How AI Debt Is Reshaping Credit Markets

US IPO issuance has surged to a record high in 2026. But this resurgence raises two concerns for the equity market: whether it is flashing a late-cycle warning sign and whether the market can digest so much new issuance. Jay Ritter of The IPO Initiative and Owen Lamont of Acadian Asset Management discuss whether the IPO surge is a red flag for markets. This episode explores the latest Top of Mind report.

What the Surge in IPOs Means for Investors

As a newly installed chairman takes the helm of the Federal Reserve, US monetary policy remains uncertain amid a soft inflation print and escalating tensions in the Middle East. David Mericle, chief US economist in Goldman Sachs Research, forecasts the Fed to keep interest rates unchanged this year before cutting its policy rate in 2027. He also unpacks the factors driving US inflation, highlights the surprising resilience of the US labor market, and explains why he expects US GDP to expand around 2% this year.
