‼️Leveraged speculation in US markets is EXPLODING:

Assets under management in US-listed leveraged and inverse ETFs are up to a record $208 billion.

Once 2x or 3x leverage is factored in, the net exposure is over $460 BILLION.

Since the start of April, ~$200 billion of net exposure has been added.

3x leveraged funds account for the majority of net exposure, at $320 billion, followed by 2x leveraged funds at $171 billion.

By comparison, inverse funds account for just -$27 billion in net exposure, underscoring how one-sided positioning has become.

During the 2022 bear market, total leveraged ETF exposure was a fraction of current levels.

The leverage embedded in US markets has NEVER been this extreme.
