Record shorts trapped as Goldman hikes S&P target — ride the squeeze higher
Traders betting against the market have piled in at record levels — but stocks are going up anyway because of positive Iran deal news. Goldman Sachs just raised its year-end S&P 500 target to 8,000, citing strong earnings growth ahead.
Idea
When record numbers of traders bet against the market and the market still goes up, those skeptics are forced to buy back in — pushing prices even higher. That's called a short squeeze, and it's one of the most powerful upward forces in the market. Goldman Sachs just lifted its S&P 500 target to 8,000 from 7,600, which gives big investors fresh confidence to keep buying. The combination of trapped short sellers and a rising Wall Street price target creates a tailwind that could last for weeks.
