The ETF market registered a quiet session, posting an overall volume of $230.0B, representing 76% of its 30-day average. This low overall activity was sharply contrasted by an extreme, focused surge in niche trading, most notably within the Commodity asset class. Trading activity in the Specialty – Carbon Credits category soared to 737% of its average daily volume on $11.0M in trade, although it finished the day -1.37%. This highly focused, anomalous volume spike suggests specific thematic or regulatory positioning by market participants in an otherwise broadly subdued environment.
