Goldman Sachs (GS) executive says private markets clients ‘glad’ for Iran war ‘distraction’, FT reports

• Says that some of Goldman’s clients “are quite resilient” and “have lived through episodes that are similar in some ways”.

The comment from Goldman Sachs suggests that certain clients are using geopolitical tensions, like the Iran war, to reassess their investment strategies, viewing these events as market distractions rather than detrimental threats. This perspective could indicate confidence in broader market resilience, which might influence trading strategies, particularly in equities and commodities that are susceptible to geopolitical risks.
