Goldman Sachs Warns of Heightened Stock Market Correction Risk Amid Economic Uncertainty
Goldman Sachs analysts have flagged increased vulnerability in equity markets, with their proprietary equity asymmetry framework signaling a >10% probability of a S&P 500 drawdown within three months.

Historical patterns suggest such sentiment extremes often precede pullbacks, with the framework indicating >20% odds of a downturn within twelve months.
