Market Moves: Week Ending 21 June 2024

  • Platinum group metals (ETPMPD, ETPMPT), also known as PGMs, were the top performing assets of the week. Spot palladium prices hit one-month highs after a burst of institutional allocations caused a mini-short squeeze due to thin liquidity in the physical ETP market.1 The availability of physical palladium has been tight in London ever since the LME sanctioned Russian-sourced PGMs in response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
  • Clean energy ETFs (CLNE, T8EV, TANN) were the poorest performers on worsening outlook for solar companies in the EU. SMA Solar Technology, a German solar equipment provider, plummeted 30% on weak earnings guidance, and industry bellwether SolarEdge suffered a severe price target downgrade from analysts at J.P. Morgan.2,3
  • There were $787.3 million in reported inflows for the week and $275 million in outflows, marking a week of net inflows for the Australian ETF industry.
