Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) shares registered an increase for the fourth consecutive day on Monday, October 9, 2023, despite remaining below their yearly peak achieved on November 15th. This upward movement coincided with a rise in the broader market as both the S&P 500 and Dow Jones indices advanced by 0.63% and 0.59% respectively.
Alongside Goldman Sachs, other banking giants Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) and Wells Fargo (NYSE:WFC) also experienced an upward trajectory in their share prices. However, Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) bucked the trend, recording a decrease of 0.52%.
Despite the positive performance, Goldman Sachs’ trading volume of 1.1 million shares traded on Monday fell below its 50-day average. This suggests that while the stock price has been on the rise, it has not been accompanied by a significant surge in trading activity.
The banking sector’s performance on Monday followed a broader market trend, with many stocks registering gains in response to favorable market conditions. However, the varying performances among the major banks underscore the varying dynamics within this sector.
