[Goldman Sachs: The Only Way for U.S. Stocks to Go Up is to Go Down First] Jin10 News, March 3 – Goldman Sachs' trading division has warned that the U.S. stock market may need to undergo further corrections before achieving sustained growth. They pointed out that current market sentiment is fragile, and capital flows are unstable, leaving the S&P 500 Index in a vulnerable state after its recent failed attempt to break through the 7000-point threshold. "The only way to go up from here is to go down first," the division wrote in a report to clients. The generally favorable macroeconomic environment has done little to help the stock market absorb geopolitical tensions and the sharp fluctuations in commodity prices, resulting in a "painful" short-term trend for U.S. stocks. Goldman Sachs traders also noted that the seasonal performance in March is relatively complex. Since 1928, March has been one of the worst-performing months for the S&P 500 Index, with the first half of the month typically showing significant volatility. From March 1 to March 14, the average gain is only 0.3%, but overall performance tends to improve afterward, with an average gain of 0.8% over the two weeks starting from March 15.
