Hedge funds posted their largest weekly net sale of U.S. equities since the week of “Liberation Day” in April 2025, according to a post by The Kobeissi Letter on X. The move broke a run of three straight weeks of net buying and pointed to a clear reduction in long exposure to U.S. stocks.
Single-name stocks made up about 53% of the total selling. Of 11 sectors, nine saw net selling, with the heaviest reductions concentrated in information technology, industrials, utilities, healthcare, and materials. Macro products, including index futures and ETFs, accounted for roughly 47% of the total selling activity.
The Kobeissi Letter also said hedge funds slightly increased short positions in U.S.-listed ETFs. That shift ended six consecutive weeks of short covering in ETFs and added to signs that funds were pulling back on bullish positioning in the U.S. equity market.
