- The survey indicated that economy-linked — or so-called cyclical — stocks are likely to benefit from a bigger rate cut on a tactical basis. For now, investors prefer sectors that are considered bond proxies, with exposure to utilities hitting the highest since 2008.

- The "long Magnificent 7" trade remains the most crowded trade for the 18th consecutive month. However, it has become less crowded compared to previous months, with 46% of investors holding this trade in September, down from 53% in August. Additionally, 19% of participants now consider "short China equities" as the most crowded trade, up from 15% in August (it is understandable due to expectations for Chinese growth are at a three-year low).

- Overall, I do not see the correction in risky assets as the start of a downturn. This type of short-term crisis and panic presents good opportunities for bargain hunting, particularly in equities and crypto, which are now available at bigger discounts. If you have spare money to invest, now may be a good time to do so.
