    Goldman Sachs revised its 12-month U.S. recession probability to 20% from 25%, citing the recent economic data that shows no signs of a downturn.

    The increase was positioned midway between the long-term average recession probability of 15%—based on the historical occurrence of a recession every seven years—and the 35% estimate during the bank turmoil in early 2023.

    The reversal in recession fears that’s taken place since Aug. 5 has come with “better data, which has made the US economy look sturdy and resilient again,” Macquarie said in a recent note.
