Renewed interest was seen today in energy as investors took views on what the U.S. Federal Reserve’s meeting conclusions could mean for the sector. It seems some investors are positioning for changes to capex and potential cuts to production. In other flow news today, McDonalds saw increased call activity as news broke the fast food giant’s ceo will be stepping down. The Russell 2000 also saw interesting flow with a four way spread in the index opening up trading this morning. The small cap benchmark was the focus of more prints during the day. AAM is also looking to launch more structured note-like UITs, aiming for Q1. The firm has been bullish on the structures recently, as it feels they could offer investors greater transparency than traditional structured products.
