Middle East crude flows have rebounded, but precautionary buying and portfolio hedging are among the factors keeping prices elevated, says Daan Struyven, co-head of Global Commodities Research and head of Oil Research, on the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast. Key takeaways: Precautionary physical buying: Physical buyers are bidding up available crude amid growing downside risks to supply. Portfolio hedging: Bond and equity prices are unusually sensitive to oil prices, prompting institutional investors to buy crude to hedge their portfolios. Supply challenges for refined products: Persian Gulf exports of refined products like diesel and gasoline are still only at around 40% of their 2025 average levels amid damage to refineries and underinvestment in manufacturing. Metal prices may also rise: Struyven expects copper prices to increase another 10% by the end of 2027. He says gold may climb amid central bank demand for the yellow metal. Date of recording: October 22, 2026 The opinions and views expressed herein…

Chinese exports are surging worldwide—and particularly in emerging markets, says Trina Chen, co-head of Greater China Equity Research. In the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast, Chen also explains which sectors face the biggest challenge from growing Chinese competition. Key takeaways: In emerging markets, revenue growth for Chinese companies may be increasing 15-times that of the local market: Goldman Sachs Research’s analysis of more than 10 sectors across industries reveals Chinese product market share has probably reached 24% in emerging markets. Chinese exports are not always cheaper: The perception that Chinese exports are gaining market share because they are cheaper may be true when they first enter the market, but prices in some cases rise over time. Improvements in product quality, for example, can close the price gap between the Chinese export and the local product. Domestic stock prices tend to respond rapidly when companies lose market share: Market capitalization can shrink by 50% or more when…

As liquidity in venture capital declines, the secondary market is increasingly important for investors and companies, says Hans Swildens, partner in Goldman Sachs Asset & Wealth Management, on Goldman Sachs Exchanges: Great Investors. Swildens explains why companies are staying private longer and how artificial intelligence is creating opportunities as well as headwinds for portfolios. In this conversation with Michael Brandmeyer, global head and chief investment officer of the External Investing Group within Goldman Sachs Asset Management, Swildens also discusses the strategic rationale behind agreeing to sell his firm, Industry Ventures, to Goldman Sachs in January 2026.

Companies with significant family ownership generate roughly 70% of global economic output and 60% of the world’s jobs. However, only three in 10 survive to a second generation. In this episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges, FX de Mallmann, chairman of Goldman Sachs EMEA and chairman of Investment Banking, and Tucker York, chairman of global Wealth Management, discuss why succession is so difficult, how enduring enterprises structure governance, and the mindset shift required after a sale or IPO. Key Takeaways Succession is a two-part decision: Founders must separate management continuity from asset ownership transfer. This process yields the best results when initiated early and built with operational flexibility. There are multiple paths to business success: Company success has come from both founders who diversified ownership and brought in professional management, and founders who kept the business family-controlled and managed. Wealth creation demands a mindset shift: Through a sale or IPO, founders go…

Markets may be pricing in more tightening by the Federal Reserve than is warranted due to a divergence playing out in the economy, according to Goldman Sachs Vice Chairman and former Dallas Fed President Rob Kaplan. In the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast, Kaplan notes that while artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure and defense spending are continuing to boom, interest-rate sensitive parts of the economy, such as housing and autos, are already straining under higher rates. Taken together, these crosscurrents are creating a more muted response from the Fed. Key takeaways: The Fed may still hike, but not much: Kaplan expects the Fed to raise rates one more time to bring rates to roughly 4%–4.25%, then pause to reassess. The markets, however, are pricing in more hikes, which Kaplans attributes to a risk premium from investors that may be related to uncertainties over oil prices and how Fed Chairman Warsh would adjust policy in reaction to economic data. The neutral rate still matters: Kaplan says this…

Rich Friedman, chairman of Goldman Sachs Asset Management, says there are still plenty of investment opportunities in private equity, even as private markets have grown far larger than he would have imagined a few decades ago. In this conversation with Alison Mass, chairman of Investment Banking in Goldman Sachs Global Banking & Markets, on Goldman Sachs Exchanges: Great Investors, he explains why he expects the payoff in artificial intelligence to arrive later than the market assumes, and how the discipline he used to build the firm's merchant banking business over 45 years shapes where he is investing now.

Government bond yields have surged to multi-decade highs across the US, UK, Germany, and Japan. George Cole, head of European Rates Strategy for Goldman Sachs Research, says there is a range of factors behind the bond sell-off—from swelling fiscal deficits and borrowing tied to investment in artificial intelligence (AI) to resilient economic growth and an energy-price shock. In this episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges, he also explains what could bring yields back down. Key takeaways: Low volatility signals a fundamental move: While global yields have been climbing, bond market volatility has been notably low. Cole says this makes it harder to dismiss the sell-off as technical noise and points instead to fundamentally driven factors. Everyone is borrowing from the same pool of savings: Governments raising money for deficits and defense spending are now competing with companies borrowing heavily to fund AI buildouts, Cole says. With more borrowers chasing the same pool of global savings, rates get pushed up…

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh has steered the central bank into an era of less transparency. Former Fed governors Donald Kohn and Stephen Miran, as well as Goldman Sachs Chief Economist and Head of Goldman Sachs Research Jan Hatzius, discuss on the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast the merits of Fed communication and how it affects financial markets. The episode is based on the latest Top of Mind report. Key takeaways: Kohn says there is a “golden mean” in which financial markets have some information from the Fed, such as a narrative that helps investors process incoming data, without central bank officials providing too much specific information about their policy plans. Reducing forward guidance would improve the signal that financial markets provide, and the additional volatility is worth the trade-off, Miran says. He argues that too much guidance from Fed officials can increase volatility in the longer run. Hatzius says markets will always price what they think the Fed will do—not what they think…

Global data center power demand could rise 170% by 2030 from 2025 levels according to Goldman Sachs Research’s Brian Singer and Carly Davenport. They joined hosts Allison Nathan and George Lee on the Goldman Sachs Exchanges podcast to discuss how data centers will source that power, the key bottlenecks, and the impact of growing pushback from some local communities. Key takeaways: The rise in power demand from AI more broadly is forecast to be the equivalent of adding another Japan to the world’s power consumption by 2030 compared to the start of 2024. Goldman Sachs Research sees seven key binding constraints for data center power today including price, policy, and people. Delays for connecting data centers to regional US power grids are as long as seven years. The Mid-Atlantic region should remain the largest US data center power market until at least 2030, but the Midwest is set to overtake Texas for second place. The opinions and views expressed herein are as of the date of publication, subject to change…

Key takeaways: The "demo versus product" gap: An AI demo is judged on its best day, but an institutional-grade product is judged on its worst. Building reliable financial tools requires rigorous, auditable grounding frameworks to avoid hallucinations and ensure every output can be traced back to a verified source. Don't bet against the model: Developers should avoid wasting resources on complex workarounds for temporary constraints on models that are evolving rapidly. Instead, they should focus on elements that models cannot natively learn: details specific to the firm, such as proprietary data or how data sets are connected to each other. Tackling legacy constraints: Successful innovation lies in redesigning workflows from first principles rather than simply automating legacy bottlenecks to do the same tasks faster. In this episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges, Chris Churchman, head of Marquee, Goldman Sachs’ digital platform for institutional and corporate clients, talks about building effective artificial…

Jean Hynes, CEO of Wellington Management, has more than 35 years of experience at the firm. But she spends most of her time looking ahead, trying to envision what the world might look like in a decade and building portfolios around nascent opportunities.

The US and Japan coordinated on the biggest currency market intervention in 15 years, helping to stabilize a weakening yen. Karen Fishman, senior FX strategist in Goldman Sachs Research, and Praneet Shah, global head of FX options trading in Global Banking & Markets, discuss why the US joined the action, why the yen still appears undervalued, and whether another intervention might follow. Key takeaways: The scale of Japan’s intervention was historic, but the US role was symbolic. Japan's operation, estimated to be worth up to $85 billion over July 30 and July 31, was its largest two-day intervention on record outside of October 2011. The US leg was much smaller, but pushed the yen further by signaling the US’ willingness to help. Washington's involvement was likely aimed at limiting volatility in US markets. The timing of US support coincided with some volatility in US interest rates, in addition to other factors. Intervention may buy time, but it is a short-term measure. In the longer term, policy measures…

Credit markets are playing a growing role in the buildout of artificial intelligence, with nearly $500 billion of AI-related debt issuance so far in 2026, according to estimates from Goldman Sachs Research. Amanda Lynam, head of credit strategy research, and Zach Ablon, head of the credit sales desk in Global Banking & Markets, discuss why cash-rich tech giants are turning to bond markets, the potential risks for institutional investors, and how alternative financing channels—including private credit, infrastructure funds, and high-yield markets—are being used to fill the funding gap.

US IPO issuance has surged to a record high in 2026. But this resurgence raises two concerns for the equity market: whether it is flashing a late-cycle warning sign and whether the market can digest so much new issuance.

Falling launch costs, innovations, and AI are fuelling a space economy that could reach $1 trillion by the 2040s, according to Michael Tarulli and Erik Sparks in Goldman Sachs Investment Banking. The key driver: launch costs have plunged sharply, opening up access to space and enabling new frontiers of commercial activity. The shift is creating new potential opportunities as well as risks for investors.

Ken Griffin, the founder and CEO of Citadel, expects agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to enable a “golden age” of entrepreneurship and eliminate some corporate moats, even as the cost of using AI creates a deep moat around other companies. And while some jobs may be replaced by technology, Griffin says he has found that productivity increases from AI have, instead of reducing headcount, allowed his company to pursue new opportunities. Griffin shares his views on geopolitical tensions between the US and China, the need for domestic data center construction in the US, and a range of other factors rippling through global markets in this episode of Goldman Sachs Exchanges: Great Investors, recorded at Goldman Sachs's Apex Symposium.

IPO activity has been on the rise in 2026. What does that tell us about investor sentiment, and what impact could the IPO boom have on US equities going forward?

Ben Silver and David Tykocinski, co-CIOs of Maverick Capital, say their investment strategy has, in some respects, been the same for three decades: Rather than trying to time the market, the firm aims to drive performance by taking a long-term view, partnering with management teams, and doing deep diligence on its investments.

Oil prices are expected to fall further following news that the US and Iran agreed to end hostilities and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. But oil is unlikely to return to pre-war levels for some time, according to Goldman Sachs Research's Daan Struyven, co-head of global commodities research and head of oil research. Struyven says that oil is still at risk of rising because of lingering effects from the conflict, persistently low inventory levels, and the possibility that the Strait of Hormuz never fully reopens. Goldman Sachs Research projects Brent oil will average $75 per barrel next year, down from about $80 at the time the podcast was recorded.

Private markets have stalled since interest rates started to rise in 2022, even as public markets have climbed to new highs. But a period of sustained economic growth along with rising liquidity and AI-driven innovation could help private markets rebound, according to Goldman Sachs' Pete Lyon and Michael Brandmeyer. Despite longer private equity holding times and mixed performance from private credit funds, they remain cautiously optimistic, projecting that distributions will gradually return to 15%-20% and that deal activity could exceed its 2021 peak within two to three years.

The economics of artificial intelligence are more questionable today than two years ago, says Goldman Sachs Research's Jim Covello, as enterprise buyers, model companies, and hyperscalers have yet to show returns on their spend.

The equity story across Asia has split into two very different paths this year, with North Asian markets pulling ahead on the strength of the artificial intelligence trade while remaining more insulated from the energy supply shock tied to the Middle East.

Technology stocks have staged a formidable rally, elevating innovation from a thematic tilt to a core portfolio driver. Yet this tailwind arrives alongside a recurring challenge — an inflationary environment in which traditional fixed-income hedges have fallen short.
