Weekly Performance Update: Week of 3/10/25

Market Recap

The week started off in an abysmal fashion on Monday, with QQQ having its worst day (-4.03%) since September of 2022 and retesting the days lows again on Thursday, both of which were met with a 2% plus rally. Of note though is that the VIX on Monday peaked above 29, but peaked at 26 on Wednesday with the indexes testing the same lows from Monday. A good portion of this can be attributed to the volatility strip after CPI on Wednesday, which came in cooler than expected and jolted the market higher mid-week.

Our Performance this Week

Small down week for Pure Alpha, as we got slightly bullish on Wednesday but the Thursday weakness and Tariff Headwinds had other ideas, but the hedges we had on mostly cancelled out the calls dumping. Futures Focus was looking good for the week but a late week trade and the corresponding vol crush pretty much turned to defensive mode by Friday.

The Week Ahead

FOMC on Wednesday and the consensus as of now is that they will hold rates steady and there will not be a cut. If, by chance, there is a rate cut the market would likely respond favorably and see at least 100 point surge in SPX. We have some exposure on in Pure Alpha and Hedge Fusion heading into next week. With Hedge Fusion we are seeking to exploit the gamma on the overnight or 1 day time frame.
