SDD is trading at $9.40, up 2.24%, as Russell 2000 weakness supports its inverse objective.

  • SDD targets -2x the Russell 2000’s daily performance, so weakness in small-cap shares can lift the fund.
  • The Russell 2000 was down 0.78% in reported Friday morning trading.
  • Broader risk aversion amid Middle East tensions and Brent crude above $114 a barrel is weighing on sentiment. SDD’s daily inverse objective means the relationship is not exact over longer periods.
