Surge in Interest for Semiconductor-related ETFs
Recent analyses by Kakao Pay Securities reveal a marked increase in investor interest in semiconductor-related ETFs during their April trading activity on U.S. stocks. Key ETFs such as SOXL and SOXS have emerged as focal points, each tracking the semiconductor market's ups and downs with a threefold leverage.
The rising stock price of Tesla positively influenced related ETF returns, reflecting investor optimism. Both the 20–30 and 40–50 age groups are showing a growing trend in investing in high-risk derivative products. This signals a strategy to leverage market volatility.
The overall average return across all age groups stood at -2.1%, with the 40–50 age bracket experiencing a relatively lower loss at -1.6%, compared to the -2.4% average return seen from 20–30-year-olds. Alongside ETFs, individual stocks such as American Rebel Holdings exhibited remarkable volatility, surging by 145%.
In summary, investors across varying age demographics continue to maintain a focus on high-risk assets like semiconductors and tech stocks. This reflects the current market uncertainties and indicates that investors are actively deploying strategies that capitalize on market volatility to seek gains.
