ETF Friday: Three ETFs MM Is Watching as US Inflows Hit US$1 Trillion

US-listed ETFs attracted more than US$1 trillion in inflows during 1H26, the quickest time the industry has ever reached the impressive milestone. However, the rally was highly concentrated, with around 800 ETFs attracting little or no investor flows. To put these numbers into perspective, the US ETF industry has grown to ~US$19 trillion in AUM as of early 2026, with over 3,000 listed ETFs in the US market.

The Match Out: ASX down but does well considering the news flow

The ASX closed lower on Thursday as a fresh surge in oil prices reignited inflation fears, after Donald Trump said the Iran ceasefire was effectively "over" and the US struck Iran for a second consecutive day. The ASX 200 fell as much as ~50pts intraday before rallying through the afternoon to finish down just 22pts – another solid fight back.

What Matters Today: Are the semiconductors a ticking time bomb, or time to buy into panic?

The ASX 200 continues to ride the volatile rollercoaster it's been aboard for well over 400-days. Last week the local market looked destined for new all-time highs following triple-digit gains on Friday, close on the heels of a strong performance on the Thursday. This morning we're sitting at our desks contemplating what's next after President Trump declared the ceasefire with “scum” Iran is over; we knew he wasn’t happy following the USA’s debacle of an exit from the World Cup, but we didn’t think global tensions would escalate in just a matter of hours. The news is already sounding so familiar to much of the last quarter:

Portfolio Positioning: Tweaking Portfolios as we enter FY27

The ASX200 fell away on Tuesday, finishing the soft session down 0.3% as further weakness in the miners offset a resurgence by the influential banks. While the gold and lithium names dominated the losers' enclosure from a performance perspective, it was the heavyweights in the materials sector that weighed on the index, with BHP Group (ASX: BHP), Northern Star (ASX: NST) and Evolution Mining (ASX: EVN) hitting the index by more than 0.3% on their own.

The Match Out: Tech and Banks offset selling in Resources as ASX slips

The ASX 200 whipsawed through the morning session, initially lower but then charging back to positive territory before ultimately falling away for the day. Samsung's quarterly result sparked a broad "sell-the-news" reaction across Asian semiconductor stocks which triggered Nasdaq futures selling, weighing on sentiment locally.

What Matters Today: How to Invest as the Market Rally Broadens Beyond the “AI Trade”

The ASX 200 slipped 0.2% on Monday, in a lacklustre session that only saw 40% of the main board close higher despite encouraging moves by US futures during local market trade. Ongoing stock and sector reversion was evident, in particular with some major underperformers of the last 12 months enjoying a return to the winners' enclosure.

The Match Out: Healthcare continues strong run as miners weigh in quiet session

The ASX 200 eased today in what was a relatively subdued start to the week, with the market spending most of the session oscillating around the flatline before sellers gradually gained the upper hand into the afternoon. There was little in the way of macro catalysts, leaving investors to rotate away from the heavyweight Banks and Miners that drove Friday's rally and back toward Healthcare, Technology and Energy.

Macro Monday: Has the Fed reignited the bull case for equities?

Last month, the new Fed Chair struck a hawkish tone in his first press conference, sending gold and copper prices lower while lifting the US dollar after signalling policymakers remained prepared to raise interest rates further if required to rein in inflation.

US-listed ETFs attracted more than US$1 trillion in inflows during 1H26, the quickest time the industry has ever reached the impressive milestone.

To put these numbers into perspective, the US ETF industry has grown to ~US$19 trillion in AUM as of early 2026, with over 3,000 listed ETFs in the US market.

Monthly inflows in 2026 are running at roughly 2.5x the long-term historical pace, with inflows exceeding $100 billion for 13 consecutive months.  Equity ETFs have dominated the 2026 YTD inflows; of the ~US$1.1 trillion in total positive ETF flows year-to-date through to yesterday, equity funds captured US$736 billion, or 67% of all inflows – it’s not surprising we’re in a bull market!
