Increase in Trading of Inverse ETFs in Korea Post Temporary Ban on Stocks Short Selling
- In this insight, we discuss the increase in trading of inverse ETFs in Korea post the temporary ban on stock short selling.
- From 6th to 14th November, individual investors made net purchases of 46 inverse ETFs worth 3.7 trillion won. Local institutions also made net purchases of 1.6 trillion won.
- On the other hand, foreigners net sold 5.8 trillion won worth of inverse ETFs.
EIA Watch: September Weakness Was Fake News. Time to Buy Oil?
- Welcome back to our weekly EIA report, where we run through demand and supply data and give our cents on where we are heading next – and what the implications are for energy markets.
- As always we present the main conclusions up-front: 1) Oil demand will likely come in hot in November on the back of strong gasoline demand in October due to the lags in energy markets (Gasoline leads oil – not the other way around).
- 2) Gasoline numbers in September were likely just a data-glimpse, as no high-frequent data series seem to agree with the narrative that demand for fuel is dropping.
