Market Moves: Week Ending 30 August 2024
- Palladium (ETPMPD) was the top performing asset of the week on reports of growing adoption of hybrids over electrical vehicles in the EU. Demand in Europe for EVs stagnated in July, falling by 11% YoY, while hybrids jumped 24% YoY. Hybrid vehicles use more palladium as catalytic converters are required for its combustion engine.1
- Crypto ETFs (CRYP, BTXX, EBTC, EETH, IBTC, VBTC) were the poorest performers as bitcoin fell on low liquidity and negative investor sentiment driven by a large overhang of global governments’ supply obtained through confiscation.2 It’s estimated that there is US$33 billion of government owned bitcoin which could enter liquidation at any time.3
- There were $557.6 million in reported inflows for the week and $111.4 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflows for the Australian ETF industry.
