Markets Are Taking Volatility in Stride, Golub Says

Jonathan Golub, Seaport’s Chief Equity Strategist, stated in March 2026 that global markets are handling volatility with resilience, showing no signs of panic despite recent fluctuations. Stocks have not declined sharply, which Golub argues would be expected if investors were reacting fearfully to market instability. Speaking on Bloomberg Surveillance, he emphasized that current price levels reflect confidence rather than distress among traders and institutions. The analysis suggests investors are adapting to volatility as a new normal, rather than treating it as a crisis trigger. Golub’s remarks highlight a shift in market psychology, where short-term turbulence is being absorbed without triggering large-scale sell-offs.
