Benedict von Lucke, Country Head Germany at GraniteShares, said: “The FAANG stocks along with FATANG and GAFAM have been hit over the past year as inflation and interest rate rises have sent the shares lower but there are signs of a recovery along with the Nasdaq100.
“Many investors are starting to ask if it might be time to think about entering the market again which makes our new listings particularly appealing as they offer the chance to leverage or go short which is increasingly popular with sophisticated German investors looking to capitalise on any market volatility.
“The trend of rising short positions in Germany shows no signs of slowing down this year, and we are already seeing an increasing interest in the shorting of German stocks using products such as ETPs.”
