🔴 Optical Networking ETF (AAOG) is trading 3.76% down in pre-market on AI spending and share-sale concerns

AAOG is trading at $1.79, down 3.76% in pre-market, as weakness in Applied Optoelectronics (AAOI) can amplify pressure on the fund, which targets 2x daily exposure to the stock.

• Optical-networking shares faced pressure from concerns about AI infrastructure spending and a $600 million share-sale program; a proposed CFO share sale added to the overhang.
• Hot September CPI expectations and mixed futures may add caution, but comparatively small index moves do not explain the full ETF decline.
