Shifts in the Global ETF Market and Key Trends

Hanwha Asset Management has launched the 'PLUS Global Rare Earth & Strategic Resources Production Firms' ETF benefiting from rising mineral prices due to US-China tensions. This ETF consists of major firms in the global rare earth and strategic resources industry. With the U.S. focusing on rare earth mining and President Trump's executive order allowing domestic mineral development, stock prices are on an uptick. Lithium prices are also on the rise, positively affecting company stock performance.
The precious metals and commodities market is emerging as a significant investment opportunity. Prices of palladium, gold, and silver have surged, with ETFs recording high returns in alignment with this trend. Particularly, rare earth-related products are gaining focus amid US-China trade tensions due to their supply-side importance. However, the presence of a 'Kimchi premium' in South Korea, where local gold prices are higher than international values, prompts caution among investors.
Mirae Asset Management is newly listing the 'TIGER Korea AI Electrical Equipment TOP3 Plus ETF.' This ETF capitalizes on the growth potential in the power equipment industry during the AI era, focusing on key companies like LS Electric, HD Hyundai Electric, and Hyosung Heavy Industries. As demand for data centers increases, the profitability of related industries is expected to rise.
Investor sentiment towards commodities is rising, causing palladium prices to skyrocket. Used extensively in automotive catalytic converters and hydrogen vehicles, palladium's demand remains high. The Russia-Ukraine conflict exacerbates supply instability, further boosting prices. Gold has also reached a historic high of $4,200 per ounce, reflecting continued volatility in the precious metals market.
