Conclusion
Leveraged single-stock funds dominated ETF moves as SpaceX-linked proxies swung sharply, while equity index products showed a firmer bias and bond funds were mostly static. The session’s rotation favored inverse commodity exposures where metals softened, and industry leadership concentrated in semiconductors alongside modest gains in real estate and energy. Dispersion was most acute between two times inverse SpaceX products that rallied and their long counterparts that slumped, underscoring elevated single-name volatility across leveraged structures.
