97% Equity Exposure Suggests Slowdown is Coming - 18

The NAAIM Exposure Index, which gauges active investment managers' equity exposure, stands at an elevated 97.32% as we head through the holiday season, a jump from last week's 77.9%. Historically, when the index reaches such high levels, it can serve as a contrarian signal, indicating that there might be a pullback or at least a slowdown in equity markets. This is because extreme bullish sentiment, as reflected by such a high index value, often precedes market corrections as it suggests overbought conditions or limited cash left to drive markets higher, at least from the active community.
