Goldman Sachs has characterized the recent sell-off in equity markets, attributed to the DeepSeek LLM model, as a correction rather than the onset of a bear market. The firm noted that this marks the first decline of over 3.5% for the 'Magnificent 7' stocks since last autumn. Analysts at Goldman Sachs view this correction as a potential buying opportunity, suggesting that investors should consider increasing their stock holdings in light of the market's reaction to DeepSeek. The firm emphasized that the current market conditions do not indicate a sustained downturn, despite the macroeconomic and microeconomic risks posed by DeepSeek.
