Summary
Retail investors have shifted from the market’s margins to its center, with Goldman Sachs saying their activity now materially shapes equity pricing and trading dynamics.
Bobby Molavi, head of EMEA execution services at Goldman Sachs, said market data shows the cohort has become “a price setter, a theme maker and a flow driver all rolled into one.”
That marks a break from the established market order, where institutional investors traditionally dominated price discovery, sector narratives and trading flows.
