Розничные инвесторы выкупили снижение американских технологических акций

Retail traders bought $3.2 billion in shares of individual stocks on a net basis earlier on Tuesday, the report said. Shares of “Magnificent Seven” members accounted for about 70% of this activity. By J.P. Morgan’s count, that brought their buying spree to $12 billion worth of cash equities over the past week. Single stocks accounted for $8.6 billion of this, the largest weekly tally on record.

Rubner explained that their data set tracking retail buy imbalances — that is when more investors are buying than selling stocks — showed a record imbalance of $5.03 billion on Jan. 17. That was the biggest since 2019, when they started tracking that and includes the COVID period. The second biggest retail imbalance was on Monday, of $4.89 billion, with the fifth-biggest in their data set taking place on Tuesday, of $4.23 billion. So the fact that four of those took place in the last two weeks showed those animal spirits alive and well for retail investors, who jumped at the chance to buy stocks as they fell, even if the drops weren’t massive.
