Wall Street Firms Bullish on U.S. Stocks Despite October Recession Fears
Wall Street firms remain bullish on U.S. stocks today despite recession fears and historical market crashes in October. Global debt and borrowing costs are surging, with investors preparing for potential market turbulence today.
In September 2025, major Wall Street firms including Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan advised investors to maintain focus on U.S. stocks today, expressing optimism despite looming fears of a market crash in October. This advice comes as global debt continues to rise and borrowing costs soar, with recession signals evident across various indicators.
Investors with a long-term perspective, such as those with a five-year investment horizon, are encouraged to weather short-term downturns and capitalize on long-term growth trends. Some firms, like Goldman Sachs, remain optimistic on equities today despite obvious risks. Experienced investors are preparing for potential market volatility today, with October historically recording some of the biggest stock market crashes, including the 1929 crash, Black Monday in 1987, and the 2008 crisis.
With October's volatility about 21% higher than any other month since 1896, investors are advised to consider long-term strategies. Despite the S&P 500 Index trading at valuations only seen before the dot-com bubble burst, Wall Street firms encourage investors to keep an eye on potential buying opportunities today, such as the London Stock Exchange Group stock which has fallen 20% over the past 12 months.
