The New York Times reports Qatar is in talks with the United States and Iran to ease tensions.

SK Hynix's record U.S. listing has spawned a new wave of U.S.-listed leveraged products tied to the stock. Issuers including ProShares, Leverage Shares and Rex Shares are preparing 2x long SK Hynix ADR ETPs and some inverse variants; issuer sites show at least six products slated to launch next week. Single-stock leveraged ETFs are already extremely popular in Korea: SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics and linked leveraged products account for more than 70% of Korean market trading volume, increasing KOSPI volatility. John Cho, Korea equity fund manager at J.P. Morgan Asset Management, said retail activity appears increasingly momentum-driven and single-stock ETFs have amplified large-cap trading and volatility, warning the emergence of leveraged ETFs can signal late-cycle retail behavior. Analysts add concentrated single-stock leverage is starting to affect the underlying names; new U.S.-listed leveraged ETPs will expand daily rebalancing flows and could further amplify already elevated volatility.
