    The US Midterms: Reshaping the Stock Market

    The US midterm elections could strengthen the stock market rotation that was already underway, says Lou Miller, global head of Custom Basket Trading in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. Traditional defensive sectors such as consumer staples are expensive right now, but healthcare stocks may provide defense along with earnings acceleration, Miller explains on The Markets podcast. He also says that stocks related to the data-center buildout have fallen sharply, resetting valuations and lowering the bar for positive surprises.   This episode was recorded on November 5, 2026.  The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change without notice, and may not necessarily reflect the institutional views of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.

    Bullish Options Trades Slow amid AI Uncertainty

    Options markets are showing signs of increased nervousness about artificial intelligence (AI) as investors focus closely on earnings from large tech companies and try to separate likely winners from losers, says Lee Coppersmith from the Equity Derivative Sales team in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. Overall demand for AI stocks remains strong and the S&P has remained resilient, but put option buying has picked up in recent weeks while activity has waned in call options that would reward a jump in equities, he explains on The Markets podcast.

    Why Investors Are Reducing AI Exposure

    Markets are scrutinizing the crowded AI trade as investors reassess technology infrastructure spending plans and factor in rising capital costs, says Rich Privorotsky, head of European Equities Trading within Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. Third-quarter earnings from mega-cap tech will be critical, Privorotsky says on The Markets podcast. Investors are not only watching hyperscaler investment plans but looking for evidence that the spending is translating into revenue growth. He also describes a “seismic shift” from a savings glut to a spending glut, which along with high energy prices is lowering investor risk appetite.   Recorded on October 22, 2026.  The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change without notice, and may not necessarily reflect the institutional views of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.

    How Higher Rates and AI Issuance Are Affecting Credit Markets

    Credit markets have stayed resilient even as interest rates rise and investors scrutinize the outlook for artificial intelligence (AI), says Alex Finston, co-head of US and Asia Credit Trading in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. On The Markets podcast, Finston points out that historically, as long as the increase in rates is steady, investors have often seen rising bond yields as an opportunity. He also shares his take on higher-quality AI credit, whether investors should be hedging their portfolios, and municipal bonds.

    Hedge Funds Are Cautious on Stocks amid Rates and Energy Volatility

    Hedge fund positioning in equities for long-short strategies is at historically low levels amid ongoing volatility in interest rates and oil prices, says Mark Wilson, head of European Equity Franchise Sales and Hedge Fund Coverage in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. And even as investor scrutiny of French government borrowing grows, Wilson points out that there are investment opportunities in Europe in defense stocks and the energy independence theme. In The Markets podcast, he also discusses his outlook for mega-capitalization technology companies, stocks that benefit from German government spending, and US third-quarter earnings.   Filmed on October 7, 2026.  The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change without notice, and may not necessarily reflect the institutional views of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.

    AI Is Becoming a Stock Picker's Market

    Trading in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks is evolving as investor interest broadens beyond semiconductor makers and companies that benefit from capital expenditures in AI, says Peter Callahan, US Technology, Media, and Telecommunications sector specialist in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. On The Markets podcast, he says investors are increasingly focused on companies that help organizations implement the technology and AI agents for commerce. Callahan also discusses how rising interest rates are impacting technology stocks, the growing dispersion among software companies, and his outlook for semiconductor stocks.

    Why the Bond Market May Be the Stock Market's Biggest Risk

    With US 10-Year Treasury yields climbing this week to the highest level since 2007, the bond market may be the biggest risk to further equity gains, says Tony Pasquariello, global head of hedge fund coverage in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities. Shorting bonds could be a useful hedge for stock investments, he says on The Markets podcast.  S&P 500 earnings growth, meanwhile, has been “mind-bending,” helping to keep valuations from becoming stretched, Pasquariello says. However, the increase in earnings may begin to taper off, and US stock returns may slow from their double-digit annual pace. He also sees opportunities in Japan’s TOPIX, as the country’s equity market gets a boost from shareholder reforms and government spending on defense and industrialization.  Watch more from Tony Pasquariello on The Breaks of the Game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JCbDQh2GokQ Filmed on September 23, 2026.

    The Opportunities for Investors amid Higher-for-Longer Interest Rates

    The Federal Reserve signaled this week that interest rates could be higher for longer, which may pose a challenge for the broader equity market if tighter policy leads to less consumption, says Anshul Sehgal, global co-head of Fixed Income, Currency and Commodities. However, companies that specialize in computing and data centers could be an opportunity for investors amid elevated interest rates. On The Markets podcast, Sehgal also discusses his take on the latest Federal Open Market Committee meeting and his outlook for longer-term bond yields.  Filmed on September 17, 2026.  The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change without notice, and may not necessarily reflect the institutional views of Goldman Sachs or its affiliates.
