US Investors Funnel Massive Funds into European ETFs
Amidst the sluggish performance of the US stock market due to President Donald Trump's tariff policies, American investors are pouring substantial funds into European Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs). In the first quarter alone, US investors allocated $10.6 billion to European ETFs, marking a seven-fold increase from the previous year and achieving the highest quarterly inflow to date. This trend is attributed to the uncertainty in the US market coupled with positive elements such as Germany's expansive fiscal policy, which have positively influenced the European market.
Particularly notable is the surge in investments into European defense-related ETFs. European defense industry ETFs received $469 million, with Trump's nod to the potential withdrawal from NATO, underscoring the necessity for self-defense in Europe, serving as a catalyst. This infusion of funds is contributing to the robust performance of defense stocks in Europe.
