Goldman Sachs is an American multinational investment bank and financial services company.
Odaily News: Jupiter Research Capital, affiliated with China's well-known quantitative investment firm Mingshi Investment, has suffered heavy losses during the sharp decline in AI-related stocks, with net value dropping over 40% in just over three weeks since July.Investor update data shows that the fund lost less than 7.5% in the first three trading days of July, but losses had widened to approximately 43% by July 24. The fund, which managed around $186 million earlier this year, employs a market-neutral strategy with 2-4x leverage.Recently, as concerns over the sustainability of AI investment have intensified, stocks across the global AI supply chain have pulled back sharply, putting pressure on hedge funds heavily exposed to AI themes. Goldman Sachs noted a "quantitative earthquake" in the Chinese market, where momentum strategy reversals have triggered unwinding pressure on AI and small-cap related positions. (Bloomberg)

The Kobeissi Letter posted on X, citing Goldman Sachs data, that as of July 13, over 1.2 million leveraged retail trading accounts in South Korea triggered margin calls, with an estimated 320,000 to 360,000 accounts having been fully liquidated, accounting for approximately 3.4% of South Korea's adult population. And as the Korea Composite Stock Price Index (KOSPI) has fallen by about 18% since July 13, it is now estimated that the number of accounts that have been fully forcibly closed has exceeded 500,000.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' research report on July 29 pointed out that the 5-year historical percentile of the total leverage ratio of global accounts remains at the 93rd percentile, the hedge fund long-short ratio has decreased from 5.7 times to 3.2 times, and deleveraging progress exceeds 90%. In July, net inflows into US stock funds were $34 billion, marking the third highest level for the same period in nearly 20 years. The S&P 500 fell below the short-term trigger level of 7,453 points; if it continues to decline, it will trigger concentrated CTA selling. Goldman Sachs estimates that systematic strategies hold approximately $196.3 billion in US stock long positions, with CTA positions at the 44th percentile. Goldman Sachs judges that US stocks are unlikely to have a trending market in August, with overall performance dominated by range-bound oscillation. Buybacks are the most certain buying support in August; currently, about 31% of S&P 500 constituents are in the buyback window, and it is expected that over 90% of companies will end the quiet period by mid-August. However, seasonal capital outflows, quantitative selling, and conservative institutional positions jointly suppress upward space. Goldman Sachs recommends reverse dispersion strategies and IWM put options as hedging tools.

Approximately one month after its launch, Robinhood Chain has surpassed Solana in two metrics: Meme coin trading volume and the number of tokenized stock holders. On-chain data shows that Robinhood Launchpad's weekly trading volume reached $1.23 billion, surpassing Solana's core Meme coin platform PumpSwap's $1.22 billion for the first time; in terms of tokenized stock asset holders, Robinhood Chain leads with 330,000 users, followed closely by Solana with 281,000, while BNB Chain ranks third with 214,000. However, the lead in holder count has not translated into an advantage in asset scale—Robinhood Chain accounts for only about 1% of the over $2 billion tokenized stock market. Additionally, Meme coin hype cooled off towards the end of the month, with the chain's DEX daily trading volume falling from a peak of $900 million to around $500 million. To date, Robinhood Chain has generated cumulative revenue of approximately $3 million. On the stock front, institutional analysts from Bernstein, Goldman Sachs, and others maintain a bullish outlook on HOOD stock, with a target price of $122, representing approximately 31% upside potential from the current price of $92.7.

According to TechFlow Research, on Monday (July 27), Apple rose over 1%, with its market cap reaching $4.94 trillion, surpassing Nvidia's $4.78 trillion to return to the top spot in global market cap. Over the past month, Apple outperformed the Nasdaq 100 Index by 23 percentage points, marking the largest single-month excess return since 2005. Goldman Sachs raised the target price from $330 to $370 on the same day, maintaining a Buy rating, citing increased confidence in the iPhone upgrade cycle and AI strategy. Apple will release its Q3 earnings report on Thursday, with the market expecting EPS to be $1.89. This market cap overtaking occurred against the backdrop of growing investor concerns over the ROI on huge AI capital expenditures, with Google's FCF turning negative and Nvidia facing sell-offs, while Apple became a safe haven instead due to restrained AI spending.

: Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong posted on X platform on July 27, urging the U.S. Senate to advance the vote on the CLARITY Act, stating that the bill was formed through years of bipartisan negotiations. Armstrong stated that the CLARITY Act would strengthen law enforcement powers, introduce new consumer protections, and provide a federal regulatory framework for the digital asset industry. He noted that there are currently no federal laws in the U.S. that protect consumers or support the development of the industry within the country. On July 22, U.S. Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act text, covering disclosure standards, registration requirements, anti-fraud provisions, and expanded anti-money laundering obligations for digital asset market participants. BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Charles Schwab, and Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon have expressed support for the bill.

Asset management firm Franklin Templeton announced its support for the CLARITY Act on July 27. Franklin Resources had previously disclosed that as of June 30, its assets under management totaled $1.79 trillion, up from $1.78 trillion a month earlier.

BlackRock, Fidelity Investments, Goldman Sachs, and Charles Schwab have previously publicly supported this market structure bill. Senate Republicans released an updated version on July 22, proposing to divide the regulatory oversight of digital assets between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC).

: The world’s largest asset management company, BlackRock, has expressed support for the CLARITY Act. Samara Cohen, Senior Managing Director and Head of Global Market Development at BlackRock, stated the bill represents a significant step toward establishing an investor-first regulatory framework for digital assets. Cohen stated the bill will help shape the next phase of market structure in the US by supporting innovation while maintaining transparency, resilience, and investor protection. Fidelity, Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon, and Charles Schwab have previously expressed support for related legislation or clearer digital asset rules. Last week, the US Senate Republicans released an updated version of the CLARITY Act, integrating work from both the Senate Banking Committee and the Agriculture Committee. Senate Majority Leader John Thune indicated that relevant Senate work could extend beyond the August recess. Crypto advocacy group Stand With Crypto stated that it has sent over 925,000 emails to Congress in 2025, exceeding 1.1 million contacts with Congress since its founding. The organization said each Senate vote on the CLARITY Act will be included in a public congressional scorecard.

Goldman Sachs Group CEO David Solomon stated that while the CLARITY Act is not perfect, he supports its advancement, believing it will establish a clearer and fairer regulatory framework for the digital asset market, enhance market stability, and promote innovation.Solomon said the most significant implication of the CLARITY Act is "creating a level playing field, allowing the market to develop healthily." This stance contrasts sharply with that of some banking executives, such as JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon. They argue that the bill, by allowing crypto companies to offer stablecoin products similar to interest-bearing deposits without assuming the same regulatory requirements as banks, could weaken the competitiveness of traditional banks.Currently, Republican senators in the U.S. have released a revised text of the CLARITY Act, which could be submitted to the Senate for a vote as early as next week. The bill aims to clarify the division of responsibilities between the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in regulating digital assets, and will continue negotiations on terms related to stablecoin issuance, consumer protection, and yield-bearing stablecoins.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 20 Top of Mind report pointed out that U.S. IPO proceeds in 2026 have already exceeded $125 billion, breaking the full-year record of 2021, and are expected to exceed $200 billion for the full year. But the number of IPOs is only about 60, far lower than the 400 in 1999 and 250 in 2021 during bubble periods, mainly driven by a few mega-tech companies. Goldman Sachs Chief U.S. Equity Strategist Snider believes late-cycle warning signals have not yet appeared, the household sector has become net buyers, annualized IPO proceeds account for only about 1% of the S&P 500 market cap, and market absorption capacity is underestimated. University of Florida Professor Ritter pointed out that high issuance volume predicts low returns, but the signal accuracy is only slightly higher than random (about 52%). Acadian Fund Manager Lamont warned that the issuance wave is one of the "Four Horsemen" of bubbles, but may mark the beginning rather than the end of a bubble; currently, first-day gains do not show extreme speculation signals. All three experts believe that IPO volume is moderate, valuations have not reached bubble levels, first-day gains are not out of control, and true danger signals have not yet appeared. Snider expects company buybacks in 2026 to be about $1.3 trillion, enough to offset new supply. If the AI narrative or corporate earnings undergo a significant shift, market and IPO prospects will change accordingly.

According to TechFlow Research, the Goldman Sachs Global Weekly Outlook noted that global stock markets fell approximately 2% last week. Intensified momentum unwinding dragged the technology sector down by 5%, while Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan saw declines ranging from 3% to 9%. Middle East tensions pushed Brent crude back above $88 per barrel, with energy and defensive sectors outperforming. The Goldman Sachs strategy team warned that the AI capital expenditure boom is accumulating risks. If the profitability of large-cap technology stocks declines before AI returns materialize, the stock market will face a double shock. Its long-term "regime-neutral" portfolio indicates lower equity weight, lower technology weight, and higher real asset allocation, but the cost of comprehensive position reduction in the short term is too high. Goldman Sachs proposed five compromise strategies: tilting towards quality factors, increasing allocation to real assets such as commodities and infrastructure, diversifying geographically to discounted markets such as Europe and Japan, hedging tail risks by going long volatility through options, and selectively participating in application-layer targets with stronger AI monetization capabilities.

Goldman Sachs estimates that crude oil shipments from the Persian Gulf have fallen to below 45% of pre-war levels.

According to TechFlow Research, Goldman Sachs' July 18 report pointed out that Moonshot AI released the Kimi K3 model, with 2.8 trillion parameters, surpassing Claude Fable 5 and GPT-5.6 Sol to top the Arena.ai coding leaderboard, with API pricing at $2.3 per million tokens setting a new high for Chinese models. Two days after the release, Zhipu AI fell 28%, MiniMax fell 16%, Nasdaq 100 index futures fell over 1.8%, and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index cumulatively fell over 18% from highs. Goldman Sachs believes Kimi K3 marks a turning point: a Chinese lab unable to match the largest pre-training compute capacity in the West rapidly narrowed the gap with top US models through architectural innovation and reinforcement learning, proving that "scaling" is no longer the only winning path. Goldman Sachs warns that the "compute expansion era" may be ending, and the AI infrastructure investment logic built around "the more compute, the better" needs to be rewritten. Goldman Sachs maintains a Buy rating on MiniMax and Neutral on Zhipu AI. Future focus should be on the intensive launch of 2-5 trillion parameter models such as Zhipu GLM, Alibaba Qwen, and MiniMax M3 Pro.
