Citadel Securities is increasingly constructive on U.S. equities heading into the final quarter, viewing the recent artificial intelligence sell-off as a risk-release event that sets up a year-end rally. Scott Rubner, head of equity and derivatives strategy, advises investors to use any persistent market weakness through month-end as an opportunity to re-add exposure to core sectors. While short-term volatility and potential declines may continue over the next two weeks due to unfavorable supply-demand dynamics and technical headwinds, sentiment is expected to reverse starting in October. The recovery is projected to begin in tech stocks before spreading to the broader market as negative positioning in AI-related assets normalizes.
