Market leverage reduction refers to the decrease in borrowed capital used by traders to amplify their positions in financial markets. This reduction can occur voluntarily as investors de-risk, or involuntarily through liquidations during price declines. Lower leverage generally indicates a more stable market, as there is less potential for cascading liquidations. It often follows periods of excessive speculation.
