On May 27, Goldman Sachs will hold a telephone conference on the prospects for the US economy and the impact of the current crisis on assets such as gold and bitcoin.
The event will be hosted by Goldman’s Investment Strategy Group IT Director Sharmin Mossavar-Rahmani, Harvard University Economics Professor Jason Furman, and Goldman Sachs Chief Economist Jan Hatsius.
