Equity index funded futures trading is showing resilience. Nasdaq 100 futures climbed 2.1% over the past five sessions as FANG stocks posted stronger Q1 earnings. Funded account traders are rotating into high beta contracts, anticipating momentum ahead of tech sector conference calls. By the time former President Joe Biden left office in January, the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure program had installed just a few dozen charging stations nationwide, more than three years after Congress created the program in the 2021 infrastructure law. Now, it could be set for a major acceleration. The stability of basis positions in April may also have been supported by right-way exposure to recent developments on three fronts. First, long basis positions gain from higher volatility (which increases delivery option value) if the rise in volatility stops before triggering higher margin requirements. Second, these positions benefit from rising expectations of policy easing (which decrease financing rates and help long basis positions unhedged against short-term rate moves). Third, the recent trend of higher yield levels (with longer maturity yields rising more than shorter maturities) also likely favored long basis positions. In funded futures trading, crude oil contracts have surged on geopolitical tensions, with WTI futures hitting $84.50 per barrel, up 6% month-to-date. Funded accounts are capitalizing on intraday swings as API inventory reports hint at tightening supply, creating bullish sentiment among energy-focused traders.
