1H Headed Toward Worst Start Since 1970: ETF Asset Flow Report


Article preview image

Stocks are on track to the worst start since 1970, as quoted on Yahoo Finance. Only five times since 1932 the S&P 500 tumbled 15% or more in the first six months of a year. The S&P 500 is off 17.9% so far this year (as of Jun 24, 2022).

The year so far has been caught up with high inflationary pressure across the world due to supply-chain issues, the Russia-Ukraine war, high energy prices, a commodity super-cycle, a super-hawkish Fed, rising rates across the globe as central banks have been tightening policies to rein in inflation, risk-off trade sentiments and a global market crash.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq have entered into correction territory this year as the recessionary fears flared up. The Fed started rate hikes this year and had enacted a 150-bp rise so far this year, which actually caused recessionary fears. Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few ETFs that gained maximum assets and that lost the same this year.
