Fresh news and strategies for traders. SPY Trader episode #1398.
The market experienced massive volatility with the VIX spiking over 22%, driven primarily by renewed regional banking credit anxieties and the lack of crucial economic data due to the government shutdown. The Fed's hints at further rate cuts underline economic deterioration, leading to a strong defensive rotation among investors. Recommended strategies include increasing exposure to defensive sectors (Health Care/XLV), longerduration fixed income (TLT/BND), and highquality growth (QQQ), while reducing exposure to vulnerable financials (XLF, KRE).
