The institutional exit:

Hedge funds dumped global stocks at their fastest pace on record in the 2 weeks ending March 3rd.

Institutional investors’ equities exposure reduction was even sharper than during the 2022 bear market.

As trade war worries mount and uncertainty rises, hedge funds are pulling out of stocks.

We are now seeing Extreme Fear sentiment for the first time since August 5th.

Is panic selling overdone?

Lumber prices are surging:

Lumber futures prices jumped to $675 on Tuesday, now up +20% in 6 weeks to their highest since August 2022.

This comes after President Trump ordered an investigation into shipments of the commodity into the US.

The probe will scrutinize whether exporters like Canada, Germany, and Brazil are throwing lumber into US markets “at the expense of American economic prosperity and national security."

According to Bloomberg, Canada provides as much as 30% of US softwood lumber.

Lumber imports will be a key trade issue.
