BREAKING: Hedge funds posted their largest weekly sale of US equities last week since the week of “Liberation Day” in April 2025.
This marks a sharp reversal after 3 consecutive weekly purchases.
Single stocks accounted for ~53% of total sales, one of the highest readings over the last year.
9 of 11 sectors were sold, led by Information Technology, Industrials, Utilities, Health Care, and Materials.
Only Energy and, to a lesser extent, Consumer Discretionary saw purchases.
Meanwhile, macro products, such as index futures and ETFs, accounted for ~47% of total sales, with US-listed ETF shorts modestly increasing last week, and snapping a 6-week streak of short covering.
Hedge funds are rapidly unwinding their bullish bets on US equities.(The Kobeissi Letter)
