Goldman Sachs: 34 Billion Shares Traded in Single Day, New US Market Record

According to Goldman Sachs, 34 billion shares traded across all U.S. equity exchanges in a single day this week, marking the most active trading session in stock market history and surpassing the previous record set on Liberation Day in 2025. John Flood, head of Americas Equities Execution Services at Goldman Sachs Global Banking and Markets, said the bank remains in "buy dip mode," with market corrections presenting buying opportunities.

Flood attributed the elevated trading volume to investors across all cohorts—retail, institutional, and corporate—rebalancing portfolios amid market volatility. He predicted that retail investing will continue accelerating through year-end, supporting the broader upward trend.
