GS Rates

I’ve heard GS rates is the best place to be for macro trading, especially DM rates and desks like the inflation desk in London, and it’s better than any other bank for macro. Do you agree with this? Can anyone provide any colour on this?

 

False. 

Rates at Citi is probably one of most well known on the street like how GS/MS are with equities.
JPM probs the most well rounded in s&t. 
Goldman & macquarie commods is probably strongest on street. 
Citi (less DB) for FX
Anything equity - any top BB.
Anything securitized - Citi, BAMLJPM

Edit: correct on inflation trading side, and just saw you referred to macro desks specifically, so feel free to ignore my comment

 

Not at all thank you for the comment. So just for clarification the inflation trading desk is very strong, but GS rates as a whole is not as strong as citi / JPM? Also is there any difference between London and NYC for rates at these banks?

 

Friend at GS Inflation says last ~3 years were amazing, unsure about this year

Citi for sure - JPM, then GS behind, but not massive difference relative to them vs Citi

Roughly the same for NY too
