Market makers have hedged for the first time in 2023, which is a significant development as it indicates that some of the fuel that led to the stock market rise this year is now spent. The news of Chinese regulator setting up a task force due to Zhongzhi Enterprise's inability to make payments on high yield investment trusts and Country Garden's difficulty in making payments on some of its bonds led to aggressive buying of U.S. stock futures by the momo crowd. However, smart money took advantage of this strength and started selling. Negative money flows were observed in Amazon, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta Platforms, Tesla, and Apple in the early trade, while mixed money flows were seen in SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and Invesco QQQ Trust Series 1.
