# Weekly Recap | UMAL.US -38.4%, a week of extreme swings

## The Week

UMAL.US fell 38.4% this week to close at $17.07, trailing the S&P 500’s 1.43% decline by roughly 36.97 percentage points. The week saw heavy selling that gave way to a modest bounce: after opening at $25.32 on Monday, the ETF dropped sharply to $20.92; a brief recovery on Tuesday failed to hold, and the price slid to a weekly low of $14.19 on Thursday before rebounding to $17.07 on Friday. Volatility was extreme, with a weekly range of 43.96%. Average daily volume came in at around 231,000 shares, well above the 45-day median, signalling heightened trading activity. There were no material catalysts tied to the ETF itself this week; the move was driven by the leveraged nature of the product and swings in the underlying asset.

## The Week Ahead

A busy macro calendar next week could shift risk appetite. On Tuesday, the US FHFA house price index, Case Shiller 20-city composite, Richmond Fed manufacturing index, consumer confidence, and new home sales data are all due. These figures will offer a fresh read on the economy’s resilience and the rate outlook. As a leveraged ETF, UMAL.US may see amplified moves around these releases, so the data prints are worth watching for short-term directional cues.
