Our Net Performance This Week

Pure Alpha gave back most of last week's gains, as our initial bullish stance to start the week ended up somewhat playing out, but weakness on Wednesday triggered some Risk Management Parameters and went into defensive mode. Under the newly implemented Risk Budgets, Hedge Fusion was down a bit and Futures Focus made a nice gain being Long ES into the NFP number.

The Week Ahead

With FOMC on tap for Wednesday, this could be a larger than expected event; more specifically Powell's comments after the rate decision announcement. Market definitely still is leaning into some positive developments on Tariffs with China. Pretty unlikely that any type of meaningful deal is reached over the next few weeks, possibly even months, but progress or some sort of clarity is all the market is expecting at this point.
