Market Moves: Week Ending 31 May 2024

  • Short equity funds (SNAS) beat the market last week as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 snapped a five-week win streak on poor US economic data.1 US GDP growth came in at a disappointing 1.3% for Q1 2024 against analyst expectations of 1.6%.2
  • Risk-on tech ETFs (BUGG, CRYP, HACK) and China-focused ETFs (ASIA, IAA, IZZ, PAXX) were the poorest performers of the week. US tech firms suffered on weak economic data, and investors took profits on Chinese large caps which rallied more than 30% year to date.3
  • There were $420.2 million in reported inflows for the week and $51.7 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflows for the Australian ETF industry.
