Co-host of the Odd Lots podcast. I like financial crisis hindsight, spurious correlation and puppies. London ➡️ New York ➡️ Abu Dhabi ➡️ Hong Kong ➡️ New York
Trouble in leveraged single-stock ETF land, with one of the SK Hynix ETFs falling 27% as the underlying stock jumps 16%.
This is (just) one of the smaller ones.

NEW ODD LOTS

Beijing doing more to balance the Hormuz-starved oil market than the rest of the world combined and no one knows exactly how long they can—or are willing to—keep it up.
