This trend highlights a growing response among investors, reflecting concerns over inflation hedges traditionally offered by TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities).
Furthermore, examining percentage losses reveals that the ProShares UltraShort MSCI EAFE experienced the steepest decline, shedding 43,720 units. This figure translates to an alarming 38.9% drop in outstanding shares compared to the prior week, suggesting a sharp reconsideration by investors regarding their overseas exposure amid changing market conditions.
