Hedge funds increased their US equity positioning for the third consecutive week, with net buying accelerating across several sectors, according to a report by InvestorsHub citing Goldman Sachs’ prime brokerage desk.
The bank’s latest flow report shows long buys outpacing short sales by roughly 1.5 to 1, marking a continued shift toward adding risk rather than hedging. While tech names remained under net selling pressure, managers shifted capital into healthcare, materials, and consumer discretionary.
Despite short selling pressures the tech sector’s Magnificent 7 stocks were net bought last week, driven by increased long positioning.
