Smart Money Loses to Retail Crowd That Bet on Stock Rebound https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...-on-epic-stock-rebound?srnd=homepage-americas President Donald Trump’s tariffs announcement on April 2 devastated financial assets, wiping out some $6 trillion in market value from US stocks in just two trading days. Wall Street’s “smart money” — hedge funds and other professional investors — dumped equities, and strategists urged clients to flee. But the so-called dumb money, embodied by retail traders, didn’t see things that way. To them, the stock market was suddenly on sale, meaning it was time to buy, not hide. And it turns out they were right, as Trump reversed himself a week later and paused most of his levies on April 9, sending the S&P 500 Index soaring 18% since then.

I heard someone complaining about backwardation with bonds, they didn’t know why it was happening. I have no idea what they’re talking about.
### **Market Implications:** - **Investor Behavior:** Backwardation incentivizes holding physical bonds now rather than futures contracts, as the spot market offers perceived immediate benefits (e.g., coupons, liquidity). - **Arbitrage Opportunities:** Traders might exploit the price differential by selling bonds spot and buying futures, profiting from convergence at expiry. - **Signal of Sentiment:** Persistent backwardation may indicate bearish long-term rate expectations or heightened demand for short-term bond holdings.
