Goldman Sachs traders say that the likelihood of a stock market rebound has increased after the Iran war cooled down, due to large-scale short selling by hedge funds and investor sell-offs. The latest data shows that global stock holdings have decreased for six consecutive weeks, with European short positions reaching a 10-year high.

Golden Finance reports: On March 30, a Goldman Sachs Group trader stated that the large-scale shorting by hedge funds and systematic investors has increased the likelihood that, should the Iran conflict cool down and the stock market experience a significant rebound, this possibility will rise. Goldman Sachs’ main brokerage trading division said that hedge funds have just reduced their global equity holdings for the sixth consecutive week, mainly driven by short selling. The latest round of selling was widespread, with net sales across all major regions. In a market data review for the week ending March 26, a team led by Vincent Lin noted that in Europe, short positions in products related to macroeconomic themes have increased to 11%, the highest level in ten years.
