Confidence at Zero! Goldman Sachs Interprets Hedge Fund Positions: "Capitulation Liquidation," Largest Loss Since the Pandemic
Goldman Sachs' prime brokerage data reveals that hedge funds’ net leverage rate plummeted last week to the lowest percentile in five years, with the scale of deleveraging reaching the highest level since the March 2020 pandemic. The long-short ratio hit a five-year low. Tech stocks saw net selling of over $30 billion, far exceeding the turbulence in July.
