Goldman Sachs global head of equity strategy Peter Oppenheimer said global
equities are likely to extend Q2’s strong rally into H2, with technology
companies’ earnings growth the main driver. He said that if earnings remain
healthy and breadth widens, markets should continue to rise in H2, though gains
may be smaller than in H1. Oppenheimer added that tech profit growth should
persist, with investor focus shifting from data‑center and cloud operators to
semiconductors and equipment makers supporting the AI boom.
