[Goldman Sachs: Market Pessimism Nearing Its Limit, Stocks May Rebound Sharply Once War Tensions Ease] According to a report by Jinse Finance on March 30, traders at Goldman Sachs stated that aggressive short selling by hedge funds and systematic investor sell-offs have increased the likelihood of a sharp stock market rebound once tensions surrounding the Iran war ease. Goldman Sachs' prime brokerage trading division noted that hedge funds have just reduced their global equity positions for the sixth consecutive week, primarily driven by short selling. The latest round of sell-offs has been broad-based, with net selling observed across all major regions. A team led by Vincent Lin wrote in a market data review for the week ending March 26 that in Europe, short positions in macroeconomic-themed trading products have risen to 11%, the highest level in a decade.
