Goldman Sachs CEO Says 'More Greed Than Fear' is Driving Markets Higher
Jun 3, 2026 3:10 AM

05:53 AM EDT, 06/03/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Goldman Sachs Group ( GS ) CEO David Solomon said Tuesday investors are showing "more greed than there is fear" as stock markets continue to climb despite concerns over elevated valuations, rising inflation and higher oil prices.

Speaking at the Economic Club of New York, Solomon said abundant market liquidity and investor optimism are helping fuel demand for risk assets and could support massive upcoming initial public offerings.

Solomon pointed to Alphabet's recent $80 billion equity raise, the largest follow-on stock offering on record, as evidence of strong investor appetite. He noted the stock's relatively modest decline following the deal as an encouraging sign for future large-scale offerings.
