Market Moves: Week Ending 6 September 2024

  • Short equity funds (BBUS, BBOZ, SNAS) were the top performers after weak labour reports brought back fears the US may be headed for recession. Non-farm employment change, one of the strongest signals for job market health, came in lower than expected – up 142k against 164k expected.1 Investors were also perturbed by a downward revision in July employment growth.
  • Risk-on technology ETFs (CRYP, SEMI) were the poorest performing non-leveraged funds of the week. Investors are slowly waking up to recession risk, leading to a re-valuation of economically sensitive companies.
  • There were $764.6 million in reported inflows for the week and $309.0 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflow for the Australian ETF industry.
