Analysis of Trump's Tariff Policies and Impact on ETF Markets

Recent developments in tariffs imposed by President Trump, coupled with domestic and global stock market changes, have significantly impacted the ETF market. The 'Financial Spoon' corner on 'Chosun Ilbo Money' highlights that ETFs like SPY and XLE present buying opportunities due to low stock market valuations. SPY is seen as a promising investment aligned with U.S. economic recovery policies, while the energy-related ETF XLE benefits from advances and governmental support in the energy industry.
Investors in domestic exchange-traded funds have faced losses due to the global 'tariff war'. There has been a notable decline in assets for major ETFs like 'TIGER U.S. S&P 500' and 'TIGER U.S. NASDAQ 100', prompting a need for caution regarding divergences between real-time iNAV and execution prices.
Active ETFs listed in Korea have also suffered considerable losses due to the decline in U.S. tech stocks caused by Trump's tariffs. The average decline was around 10%, with some leveraged products falling over 20%. In response, asset management firms are employing various strategies to adjust portfolios to minimize losses.
Lastly, individual investors, often referred to as 'Seohak ants', purchased over $547.76 million in the U.S. stock market just before Trump's tariff announcements, yet faced substantial losses after the market downturn. Their investments focused on leveraged ETFs like SOXL and TQQQ and companies like Nvidia and Tesla. Attempts to additionally invest in high-dividend stocks and gold did not prevent losses either.
