Conclusion

Risk appetite favored equity beta and single‑stock leverage, with outsized gains in Ondas‑ and POET‑linked products. Index flows leaned toward China inverse exposure and U.S. large‑cap leverage, while commodities saw bearish precious‑metals vehicles lead and energy prints diverge. Industry leadership featured telecom, solar, and inverse real estate alongside a modest lift in natural gas. In fixed income, convertibles outperformed core duration as long Treasuries nudged higher. The day’s dispersion was most visible between bullish and bearish structures tied to China, metals, and single‑stock targets, and across differing leverage settings.
