In a sign of flourishing anxiety, the volume of trading on some of the largest stock-marketed funds has jumped at the rates we last observed in 2008. Assets in this class for about $ 3.4tn. managed to change their owners. The most popular ETFs were emerging markets, with the main cash flow there being outgoing. Protectionism and political risks in emerging market countries have led investors to withdraw much of their funds, JP Morgan said.

An impression over the past few days has also made the massive purchase of inverse ETFs not only in emerging markets but also in the SP500. This clearly shows the mood among Wall Street players. Technical state indices still hold up the upward trend but lack a foundation on the horizon to take US companies to new heights.
