Hedge fund returns worsen this week as tech selloff deepens
This week has seen a significant deepening of the tech selloff, which is negatively affecting hedge fund returns. The tech sector's challenges are likely leading to tighter liquidity conditions and increased volatility in equity markets, which can spill over into FX as risk sentiment shifts. A downturn in hedge fund performance can adversely impact their currency positions, particularly in the USD, as they might be forced to liquidate positions to manage losses. This trend raises concerns about broader market stability and the potential for a more pronounced risk-off environment.
