Goldman Sachs: Investor risk appetite rises to high levels, market sentiment remains optimistic
According to Odaily, analysts from Goldman Sachs Research Department pointed out that despite escalating geopolitical risks, investor risk appetite has increased from December last year to January this year. Based on the bank's research, investors are increasing borrowing to support trading, with margin account leverage rising sharply since April last year and now reaching its highest level since 2021. The research also shows that retail investors are increasingly choosing assets outside of the "Magnificent Seven," expanding their investment exposure to different regions. Investors are also increasingly increasing their short bets on the VIX fear index, with the ratio of short positions to long positions hitting a ten-year high, indicating a widespread market expectation that volatility will decrease.
