ETF Trends
Volatility, as measured by the CBOE VIX, surged more than 7% on Thursday, amid stocks, index futures, and stock ETFs retracing some of their recent gains due to strong jobs data. It sent interest rates rocketing.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gave up 362 points, or 1.1%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices fell over 0.8%. The Dow and S&P 500 were headed to hit their worst daily performances since March and May, respectively, but have since recovered from their worst levels as of July 6.

US borrowing costs hit 16-year high as markets unsettled by jobs data
Kate Duguid and Mary McDougall - Financial Times
Investors sold stocks and bonds across the world on Thursday as US borrowing costs touched a 16-year high, following strong jobs figures that intensified expectations of further rate rises by the Federal Reserve.
Europe's Stoxx 600 index closed down 2.3 per cent, its biggest one-day drop since March, as the yield on the two-year US Treasury note â which tracks interest rate expectations â reached its highest level since 2007.

What exactly is your problem with stock index concentration?
Bryce Elder - Financial Times
Ever since artificial intelligence was invented eight months ago, people have been writing about the rising concentration of stock indices. The usual way to start is with an observation that the trillion-dollar IT club makes up approximately a quarter of the S&P 500 index by weight â because of AI hype, or possibly, the result of a rotation by investors after the same stocks sold off a year earlier.

Here's what stock-market investors don't like about the June jobs report
William Watts - MarketWatch
Investors sifted through mixed signals in the U.S. June employment report Friday, with sticky wage gains seen offsetting any relief from a slowdown in jobs growth.
Sure, a strong labor market reflects a resilient economy, which should be good news for the stock market, all things equal. But the worry for investors is that healthy employment growth will halt or slow a drop in inflation that remains well above the Federal Reserve's 2% annual target, forcing policy makers to raise interest rates further than expected and risk driving the economy into a steeper slowdown or recession.

Total Return Futures volumes pick up
Eurex
After a lackluster start to Q2, Index Total Return Futures volumes picked up in June. The pick-up had less to do with the usual roll business but more with a shift in market sentiment, combined with a reduction of directional exposure before the summer. This was certainly true for the SX5E, where volumes were up in June and the highest this quarter while overall open interest fell.

Andrew Shilling - MarketWatch
Charlie Munger, the 99-year-old vice chairman of Berkshire Hathaway and Warren Buffett's second-in-command, has built quite the empire for himself, growing his assets to an estimated net worth of around $2.4 billion, according to Forbes' latest figures. Munger's strategy of seeking success in concentrated groupings of stocks he feels will achieve gains over the long-term has served him quite well. But for anyone expecting perpetual gains despite the odds, even Munger's portfolio has shown signs of cracks.
