Sky-high valuations and seasonal weakness have incited some pullback warnings, with traders also facing political uncertainties.

Hedge funds aggressively cut risk across their long and short books and at the fastest pace since January 2021, according to a note by Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s prime brokerage desk. The move came amid last week’s market rotation into small caps and increased volatility.
