Analysis of ETF Market Trends: Volatility in Copper and Defense Sectors

The domestic ETF market has recently witnessed a notable decline in copper-related products. This downturn is attributed to the strengthening of the US dollar and tariff actions negatively impacting the copper market. The ETFs 'KODEX Copper Futures (H)' and 'TIGER Copper Physical' have yielded returns of -24.11% and -4.45%, respectively, reflecting the challenging market environment. This decline mirrors reduced demand for copper and heightened market uncertainty.
In contrast, ETFs related to the shipbuilding and defense sectors are on an upward trajectory. Following the US-Korea trade negotiations, a partnership fund of $150 billion was established to support South Korea's shipbuilding industry, enhancing investment appeal in related ETF products. Despite the maintenance of high tariffs on steel products resulting in their decline, the defense sector's positive outlook is highlighted, creating new investment opportunities in the market.
