- Bulls are buying crash protection as a breakout rally continues, reflecting lingering anxiety about a potentially violent summer selloff even amid the gains (CNBC).
- Investors are abandoning hedges in order to chase soaring stocks, while the credit market remains unconvinced despite the equity rally (MarketWatch, fourth headline).
Why it matters: The split between equity euphoria and credit market concern reveals institutional disagreement over whether the rally is sustainable — bulls are essentially paying for crash insurance while collecting gains, a costly hedging pattern that only pays off if the feared selloff materializes.
