#ETFWatch ETF Watch: Key Market Trends

March 22, 2025

Markets experienced volatility this week, with the Dow dropping 450 points and the S&P 500 also declining. Leveraged ETFs saw record inflows in 2024 but suffered losses in 2025, highlighting their risk. Meanwhile, managed futures ETFs, like BlackRock’s iShares Managed Futures ETF, gained interest for diversification despite inconsistent returns.

China ETFs showed resilience amid market corrections, with investors favoring funds like KraneShares CSI China ETF. Municipal bond ETFs face uncertainty as potential policy changes threaten their tax-exempt status.
