Conclusion
ETF trading skewed risk‑off, with inverse equity and bear sector products leading while a cluster of single‑stock leveraged longs saw outsized drawdowns. Rotation favored precious metals exposures over cyclical energy equities, and small‑cap and China index hedges outperformed broad beta. Cross‑asset leadership centered on silver‑linked funds and semiconductor bear products, with bond ETFs broadly flat to slightly firmer. Leverage amplified dispersion: inverse vehicles gained ground as multiple two‑times long products on individual stocks faced heavy pressure.
