The Federal Reserve is on track to achieve a soft landing in the US economy, Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s Chief Economist Jan Hatzius said, adding that a March interest rate cut “would make sense.”

“The Fed is on its way to achieving the soft landing, obviously no guarantees, but I like what I’m seeing,” Hatzius told Bloomberg Television in an interview Tuesday in Hong Kong.
