Benzinga, a leading financial media outlet, will host a free live virtual bootcamp titled "Trading Leveraged ETFs: Interest Rates, Fed Meetings, and More" on Thursday, September 18, at 11 a.m. EST. The event, held in partnership with Direxion, a prominent provider of leveraged ETFs, aims to equip active traders with strategies for navigating market volatility triggered by macroeconomic events such as Federal Reserve meetings, Consumer Price Index (CPI) releases, and unexpected interest rate shifts.
The bootcamp will feature expert-led sessions and real-time case studies designed to provide insights into market behavior around these catalysts. Participants will learn how to position themselves using leveraged and inverse ETFs before, during, and after key interest rate events. The session encourages audience participation, allowing attendees to ask questions and receive answers in real time.
Speakers include Shawn Edwards, Vice President and Institutional ETF Strategist at Direxion, and Gianni Di Poce, an analyst at The Mercator LLC. The event is free to attend, but space is limited. Interested traders can secure their spot at https://www.benzinga.com/events/trading-leveraged-etfs.
This bootcamp is particularly relevant as interest rate announcements often cause swift market reactions, and leveraged ETFs can amplify both gains and losses. Understanding how to use these instruments effectively around such events is crucial for active traders looking to capitalize on volatility. The session will cover strategies for trading before, during, and after these announcements, providing actionable insights that can be applied in real-time trading scenarios.
Benzinga continues to offer educational resources for traders, and this bootcamp represents an opportunity to learn directly from industry experts. For more details, refer to the original announcement on NewMediaWire.
