Goldman Sachs CEO: More active capital markets expected in 2025

Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon expects the policies implemented by Trump when he takes office are expected to add another spark to already improving capital markets, as it is believed that the Trump administration will cut back on regulation, and the market has already reacted to the idea that the new administration will boost growth, according to Reuters. Solomon said he has not spoken directly with Trump. In addition, several business executives and investors predicted an increase in corporate deals in 2025, as President-elect Trump is expected to take a more moderate approach to mergers and acquisitions than his predecessor. The market could also benefit from improved investor sentiment as the Federal Reserve is likely to cut interest rates further.
