Dip-Buyers Are Piling Back Into The SPY
Analyst Paul Weisbruch of Street One Financial brings us his daily fund flows update, which today points out massive surprising inflows to the world’s largest ETF, reversing several days of outflows.
SPY Investors Buying The Dip
Out of nowhere, heading into month’s end — into pivotal earnings for the market such as #1 weighted S&P 500 component AAPL’s release tonight after the market close — we have seen huge inflows into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) (over $8 billion in). This move reverses the trend we’d been seeing earlier this month of major outflows hitting the fund.
Market Technician David Chojnacki notes near term support levels in SPX including 2275, 2273, and 2250 below, which may prove even more important going into the first of the new trading month tomorrow. We have not seen inflows of this size since immediately following Trump’s election last November. We have traded as low as 2267 in the SPX in early trading today, only to rebound back to the 2273 level for the moment.
The SPDR S&P 500 ETF (NYSE:SPY) was trading at $226.78 per share on Tuesday afternoon, down $0.77 (-0.34%). Year-to-date, SPY has gained 1.45%, versus a % rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.
SPY currently has an ETF Daily News SMART Grade of A (Strong Buy), and is ranked #1 of 109 ETFs in the Large Cap Blend ETFs category.
GLD Bets Paying Off Already
In other activity, we recently mentioned an appetite for upside calls in the largest gold-focused ETF, SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD), and those appear to be well-timed trades given a >1% spike in Gold prices today.
The SPDR Gold Trust ETF (NYSE:GLD) was trading at $115.24 per share on Tuesday afternoon, up $1.27 (+1.11%). Year-to-date, GLD has gained 5.14%, versus a 1.44% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.
GLD currently has an ETF Daily News SMART Grade of B (Buy), and is ranked #1 of 33 ETFs in the Precious Metals ETFs category.
