Global ETF Market Trends
Expectations of easing trade tensions have pushed global equities ETFs to record highs. Specifically, the iShares MSCI Canada ETF (EWC) and iShares MSCI Israel ETF (EIS) have both hit new highs. This movement is driven by the stock price rise of major companies in Canada and Israel, indicating increased risk asset preference in the market sentiment.
In the domestic market, parents managing minor accounts are more inclined to invest in Samsung Electronics. While Tesla's stock is losing its appeal due to volatility and negative outlooks, Samsung Electronics is gaining traction due to its undervaluation. Leveraged ETFs like the 'Direxion Daily Semiconductor Bull 3X' are also gaining attention, while bond ETFs and dividend ETFs are popular as stable investment options.
South Korean individual investors are increasingly buying U.S. leveraged ETFs. Notably, ETFs tracking three times the daily returns of the ICE Semiconductor Index and long-term U.S. Treasury yields are gaining popularity. This reflects bargain hunting sentiment and heightened rebound expectations, as evidenced by the purchase of leveraged Apple ETFs following tariff announcements that affected Apple’s stock.
Kiwoom Investment Asset Management's 'KIWOOM DAX ETF' is rapidly growing, being the only domestic ETF solely focused on Germany. Based on stocks from the Frankfurt Stock Exchange, this ETF enjoys a diversified sector investment with added expectations for gains if the Euro strengthens.
