This Thursday, the single-day dumping scale of hedge funds reached a nearly 15-year high, close to the 2008 Lehman crisis.
According to an analysis by The Kobeissi Letter, hedge funds sold off stocks worth $40 billion in a single day on Thursday, the largest since 2010; the volume of short selling was three times that of buying, with North American stock trading accounting for 75% of the total. During the Lehman crisis in 2008, the market's single-day sell-off was $28 billion, adjusted to $42 billion, while the net sell-off during the COVID-19 shock in 2020 was $52 billion.
