Emerging Economic Power China and ETF Market Trends

As China intensifies its investment in semiconductor self-reliance and AI+ strategy, these efforts are also impacting the domestic ETF market. Notably, Mirae Asset's 'TIGER China Semiconductor FACTSET ETF' is gaining interest. This ETF includes companies across China's semiconductor industry, and its recent performance has been on the rise, which has increased its popularity among individual investors.
Conversely, South Korea's battery industry shares are declining. The KODEX Secondary Battery Industry Leverage ETF has seen a sharp fall recently, and amid the growing emphasis on China's market competitiveness, China's secondary battery and electric vehicle ETFs have been performing well. China's leading battery company CATL has demonstrated impressive growth, leading South Korean asset managers to expand investment products centered on China.
Gold prices continue to break record highs, which also raises interest in gold ETFs. The weak dollar and the potential rate cuts by the U.S. Fed among other economic factors are impacting gold prices both directly and indirectly. Experts predict further increases in gold prices, and the major ETFs in the market include the KRX Gold Cash ETF and KODEX Gold Active ETF.
Finally, Kiwoon Investment Asset Management launched the 'KIWOOM Korean High Dividend & US AI Tech ETF', combining domestic high dividend stocks and U.S. AI tech stocks. This ETF aims simultaneously for dividend growth and tax savings through rebalancing strategies. Meanwhile, Mirae Asset has launched the 'TIGER U.S. AI Software TOP4Plus ETF', focusing on American AI software firms with diversified investments in select influential companies like Palantir, Salesforce, and Snowflake.
