The wreckage was significant this week mainly stemming from Mondays insane washout. Markets did show some promise and ability to bounce upwards though recovering a good portion of the early losses on the week to where markets in essence finished basically flat on the week overall. The intense volatility provided a ton of opportunity for us however as we were able to capitalize on violent moves both upwards and downwards. The markets are incredibly volatile and are hanging on to every word about trade, rate cuts, and now the Chinese Yuan value. Every evening at about 9:15 est the PBOC will come out and “fix” the Yuan to a value against the US dollar. This is significant because this week the PBOC has slowly but surely devalued their currency. This helps with Chinese exports and to offset the additional tariffs from the U.S. recently. It’s a massive whirlpool out there where the only thing that has been consistent is instability.
