Fluctuations and Opportunities in the ETF Market
Semiconductor-related ETFs are showing a sustained upward trend. Particularly, the uncertainty in the international commodity market is attracting investors' attention, with President Biden's comments on Iranian oil fields slightly boosting oil prices, yet natural gas futures have declined. While futures for grains and metals have dropped, sugar prices are under upward pressure due to supply issues in Brazil and risks in the Middle East. These factors underscore UN FAO's assessment that sugar is a major driver of the global food price index increase.
Despite the downturn in major semiconductor stocks, including Samsung Electronics, 'equal-weight' ETFs have been performing robustly. These ETFs offer defensive benefits during market declines due to diversification effects. Over the past month, equal-weight ETFs have outperformed traditional market capitalization-weighted ETFs, with the TIGER 200 Equal Weight ETF achieving a return of 5.67%. Equal-weight ETFs provide investment opportunities in undervalued stocks, particularly visible in the prevailing market rotation themes, drawing significant investor interest.
