The most bought and sold stocks and ETFs last week.
Following the onset of the war in the Middle East we’ve seen increased cross-asset volatility, with heavy selling across stocks, bonds and precious metals. Energy markets have been especially volatile with oil and gas prices surging.
The reaction in financial markets has shown up in via increased trading activity in a number of companies with direct exposure revealing clients are attuned to events and adjusting portfolios accordingly. For instance among the most traded shares last week were BP and Shell as crude prices have soared; clients were net sellers amid the volatility after a strong run in the first two weeks of March. Investors were likely taking some profits in BP last week after the stock hit a 7-year high. Meanwhile there was strong buying activity in an oil & gas exploration and production ETF. Another area that's been directly impacted by the war is travel - easyJet and Rolls-Royce rose up the ranks of the most traded as clients reacted to the perspective of disruption to air travel. Clients were also leaning into some of the weakness in gold prices as the precious metal continued to come under pressure. Elsewhere, Micron was among the most traded names after its bumper earnings failed to stop the stock sliding.
Clients were also rotating back into big tech names such as Nvidia, Tesla and Meta but sold Amazon. Popular buy trades focused on ETFs as it looked like clients bought into broad market weakness with a view to diversify with single stock picture muddy and a clear preference for spreading risks against such an uncertain macro backdrop.
