SPY Attracts $5.1 Billion as Dow Plunges Nearly 1,000 Points
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) pulled in $5.1 billion Monday, growing to $553.7 billion, according to daily fund flows data. This major inflow came as the Dow tumbled 972 points, or 2.5%, to 38,170 after President Donald Trump criticized Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, calling him a "major loser" and demanding immediate rate cuts. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (DIA) attracted $1.6 billion, while the SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) gained $731.5 million as gold prices surged to record highs above $3,400 per ounce. The ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) saw inflows of $474.7 million despite the tech-heavy Nasdaq-100 falling 2.5%. The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) experienced the largest outflows at $2.6 billion as tech stocks led the market lower, with Tesla Inc. (TSLA) dropping 5.8% and Nvidia Corp. (NVDA) falling 4%. The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) lost $1.5 billion in assets, while the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) saw outflows of $1.3 billion. Commodity ETFs gained $1.2 billion as investors sought safe-haven assets amid dollar weakness, while leveraged ETFs pulled in $973.7 million. Despite Monday's sharp decline, U.S. equity ETFs saw inflows of $3.1 billion. Overall, ETFs experienced net inflows of $6.3 billion.

Bond ETFs Are Clear Winners as Investors Seek Market Safety
U.S. fund investors pulled back in March amid growing economic concerns, with long-term fund inflows dropping to just $24 billion, the lowest total since April 2024, according to Morningstar Direct's latest fund flows report. The rapid expansion of the market for bond ETFs signals a fundamental shift in how investors access bonds during uncertain times. This structural change carries major implications for financial advisors, asset managers and investors as the investment landscape continues to evolve during periods of market stress. The first quarter saw taxable bond ETFs collect nearly $100 billion compared to just $20 billion for their mutual fund counterparts, pushing ETFs' market share to 30%—triple what it was 10 years ago, according to Morningstar Direct. "ETFs have especially taken root in the government-bond categories, where their combined $362 billion base represents about two-thirds of all the assets," the firm reported in its March 2025 fund flows analysis. Source: Morningstar Direct The overall market experienced subdued flows in March, according to the report, with five of the 10 category groups seeing outflows. Ultra-short bond funds claimed $15 billion of the $23 billion that went into taxable bond funds, masking weakness across other bond categories. Market volatility drove investors toward safety, with utilities and consumer defensive funds being the only sector-equity categories receiving meaningful inflows in March. Utilities funds collected $1.3 billion, their largest inflow within the sector-equity group, according to the Morningstar report. Commodities funds, particularly those tracking gold, took in more than $7 billion in March, reaching levels not seen since 2020. The price surge came as investors sought safe-haven assets amid concerns about potential tariffs and a resulting recession. Europe-stock funds provided a rare bright spot for international equity, gathering more than $6 billion in March—their strongest showing since 2015. Overall, they collected more than $9 billion in the first quarter, their best performance since 2021's second quarter. Dividend-oriented investment strategies also attracted investor interest in the challenging environment. According to Morningstar Direct, dividend funds took in $5.6 billion in March, a pattern more reminiscent of 2022's defensive market positioning. Meanwhile, tactical traders showed appetite for market volatility, pouring a record $7.8 billion into leveraged equity funds. The ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ) alone collected $2.8 billion as traders positioned for potential market | © Copyright 2025 All rights reserved Sign in to access your portfolio

Billionaire Bill Ackman Challenges the Value of Highly Leveraged Trading
Billionaire investor Bill Ackman is challenging the value of high-risk trading tools like leveraged ETFs and zero-day options. In a post on Ackman questioned whether products like 3X leveraged exchange-traded funds and zero-days-to-expiration (0DTE) options offer any real benefit to society or the economy. These tools are often used by traders to make quick profits, but Ackman suggested they may instead be adding unnecessary risk to the market. Stay Ahead of the Market: Discover outperforming stocks and invest smarter with Top Smart Score Stocks. Filter, analyze, and streamline your search for investment opportunities using Tipranks' Stock Screener. Leveraged ETFs, such as the ProShares UltraPro QQQ (TQQQ), are designed to multiply gains or losses tied to an index. Interestingly, TQQQ has seen over $2.3 billion in inflows this week alone to set a record. Meanwhile, 0DTE options, which are contracts that expire within a day, have been criticized for increasing stock market volatility. These contracts are frequently used to trade major indices and ETFs like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY) and Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ), therefore making their influence on daily price movements hard to ignore. Indeed, Ackman believes that the recent swings in rates, currencies, and equities are less about economic fundamentals and more about technical factors. Specifically, he points to traders with extreme leverage that are being forced out of their positions. He also warned that markets have become unreliable as short-term indicators of policy changes and questioned why such high levels of leverage are allowed. 'When did we as a society decide to abandon the margin rules that were meant to protect markets from this kind of volatility?' he asked. Is QQQ a Buy or Sell? Turning to Wall Street, analysts have a Moderate Buy consensus rating on the Nasdaq 100-tracking QQQ ETF based on 90 Buys, 12 Holds, and zero Sells assigned in the past three months, as indicated by the graphic below. Furthermore, the average QQQ price target of $530.85 per share implies 16.9% upside potential. See QQQ's holdings Disclaimer & Disclosure Report an Issue

Stock Movers: US Steel, Walmart, TQQQ
On this episode of Stock Movers: - ProShares UltraPro QQQ fund (TQQQ) had its best rally in the most recent session, the largest inflow in its 15-year history. TQQQ uses derivatives to deliver three times the daily performance of the Nasdaq 100. Traders have been steadily adding to the ETF all year. Altogether, the fund has taken in more than $3 billion despite a 15% year-to-date drop for the Nasdaq 100 and an even greater drubbing for TQQQ itself. - Walmart (WMT) and other retail stocks soared after President Donald Trump said he'll pause higher tariffs for 90 days for dozens of nations that haven't imposed retaliatory measures on the US. Walmart executives are confident that the world's largest retailer will reach its financial targets this year, despite tariff turbulence that's sparking uncertainty in the world economy. On Wednesday, Walmart said that it still sees net sales growing 3% to 4% this year. That forecast accounts for tariffs, unlike its previous outlook from February. - United States Steel (X) shares tumbled as much as 16% in post-market trading after President Donald Trump said he does not want to see the steelmaker owned by a Japanese company. Trump, speaking from the Oval Office, pointed to the producer's rising steel orders as evidence that it doesn't need any investment right now. He also said he doesn't want US Steel bought by 'any other place,' apparently referring to other foreign buyers.
