📊⚡💸 Retail Rush Into Leveraged ETFs Hits Record as Tariff Chaos Fuels Volatility Bets 🔹 Summary: Leveraged equity ETFs have seen record inflows of nearly $11 billion this month, as retail investors bet on sharp rebounds following tariff-driven market declines. With hopes of Fed rate cuts and paused tariffs, traders are tactically exploiting volatility despite long-term risks like performance decay. 🔹 Key Points: • Inflows into leveraged equity ETFs reached $10.95B this month, surpassing the prior record of $9.2B in March 2020. • The surge follows a 5% drop in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq after Trump's reciprocal tariff announcement, later softened by a 90-day pause. • Platforms like Robinhood have helped retail investors access ETFs mimicking the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 without using futures. • Experts highlight their appeal for short-term gains, but caution against long-term holding due to volatility-induced decay. • Some traders actively short triple-leveraged ETFs like TQQQ to profit from structural inefficiencies and daily resets. @CMEActiveTrader Tickers Of Interest: $NQ $ES Tickers Of Interest: $SPY $TQQQ $QQQ $USD $MSCI
