Goldman Sachs says that the market remains in a bullish phase and that corrections are buying opportunities.
On a new episode of the bank’s The Markets podcast, John Flood, head of Americas Equities Execution Services in Goldman Sachs Global Banking and Markets, says to expect market volatility and to invest when stocks decline in value to catch the upside.
“I still think that we’re in buy dip mode. Reminder that we’re stepping into the Russell rebalance [Friday], which we typically see bouts of volatility heading into, and a week ago from [Thursday], as we were just talking about the Knicks parade… we actually had 34 billion shares trade across all US equity exchanges.
That’s the most active trading session in the history of the stock market. That broke the record made on Liberation Day in 2025. What that tells me is that you have a lot of investors from all different cohorts, whether it be retail, institutional, corporate, moving portfolios around. I do think that the volatility will continue, but I do think general trend for this market is higher, and dips still present solid buying opportunities.”
The analyst also predicts strong retail investing for the rest of the year, lifting the market.
“Retail has been the most consistent buyer of stocks this year. And as we get through these high-profile IPOs (initial public offerings), it feels like it is accelerating the retail bid, which I would expect to continue for the rest of this year.”
