Leverage use and short-term trading rise as more investors join markets
A surge of retail participation and quant funds is pushing activity toward borrowed money and faster, shorter holding periods.
MarketWatch reports that new charts show how heavier leverage among investors is changing the stock market, with more trading activity tied to borrowed capital.
The outlet says the shift is driven by a growing mix of retail investors and quant funds, contributing to more short-term trading behavior.
According to MarketWatch, the result is a market structure that increasingly relies on leverage and faster rotations rather than longer-term positioning.
