Goldman data: hedge funds unwind AI stock bets in five sessions

Goldman Sachs prime brokerage data, reported by Hedgeweek, indicates hedge funds erased all net purchases of global AI stocks accumulated since the start of 2025 in just five trading sessions. The report cites roughly $20bn in technology stock sales over two weeks, near the $23bn seen in a July unwinding, with long selling outpacing new shorts by 3.5 times. It also states Goldman's hedge-fund-favoured basket fell 4.2% on 22 October, its steepest one-day drop since 2011, and that Morgan Stanley data showed overall exposure cut by about 7.8%.
