Market Moves: Week Ending 23 August 2024
- Crypto ETFs (BTXX, CRYP, EBTC, IBTC, VBTC) were some of the top performing assets of the week after Fed Chair Jerome Powell confirmed rate cuts were coming in the upcoming FOMC meeting.1 Risk assets such as Bitcoin have historically performed better in low interest rate environments.
- China-adjacent ETFs (CNEW, ASIA) were a theme across the poorest performers as EU trade tariff talks impacted sentiment around heavy-hitting EV stocks. If approved by EU member states, Chinese companies such as BYD, Geely, and SAIC will have to pay up to 36% in duties when importing vehicles made in China.2
- There were $755.8 million in reported inflows for the week and $179.1 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflow for the Australian ETF industry.
