Market liquidity is improving:
Top of book depth in the S&P 500 futures jumped to $10.8 million in the week ending Tuesday, the highest since January.
This marks a +440% increase from the ~$2.0 million low recorded last month.
The current reading is also higher than 84.6% of all observations over the last 2 years.
By comparison, the peak over this period was ~$17.0 million, recorded during the market's rally following President Trump's 2024 election victory.
ETFs accounted for ~28% of total volume in the week ending Tuesday, in-line with the historical average, after exceeding 40% for most of March.
Falling ETF trading volumes are typically associated with calmer markets and greater investor confidence in individual stock selection.
Market conditions are stabilizing.(The Kobeissi Letter)
