Excerpt from today's Morning Newsletter:
Q: Do you cover the Russell 2000 short?
A: No. Much like when bond yields had a head fake (to the upside) in early July and the Russell rallied, IWM has been doing the same for the last few weeks on even less volume. To put yesterday’s move to 1179 in context, Total US Equity Market Volume was -32% vs. its YTD avg, and the Russell would still need to rally +3% (from here) to get back to the July 7th breakeven.
