Conclusion
ETF flows and price action skewed defensive, with inverse equity and oil-linked exposures leading, while broad beta and long tech products lagged. Single‑stock leverage dominated dispersion, as vehicles tied to Quantum Computing Inc., AST SpaceMobile, and health insurers swung the most, and semiconductor inverses outperformed their long counterparts. Energy-linked funds were standouts across both commodity and industry lists, whereas bond ETFs posted quiet, incremental gains with minimal duration impact.
