The 2026 benefit is not divided into separately allocated summer and winter amounts. Instead, households receive an annual total based on the number of household members, which can be used from 2026-07-01 through 2027-05-31.

Rather than a single negative catalyst, the decline was accompanied by a wave of leveraged long-position liquidations concentrated within a short period, alongside a risk-averse environment shaped by U.S. interest rates, the dollar, and oil prices.
