The spread of Goldman Sachs’s influence and the rise in its fortunes show no signs of waning.

Despite spending his year on the campaign trail lambasting the US investment bank, Donald Trump has tapped up its senior executives to join his administration.

“We’ve got Goldman Sachs people in every major market,” Mr Cohn said in an in-house message after his departure was announced.
