2024년은 이정표를 세운 한 해였다. 현재의 강세장은 거의 26개월이 지났지만 흔들림 없는 상승세를 보이고 있다. 이는 2022년 10월 중순의 저점 대비 70% 이상 상승한 수치다. 한 해를 마무리하며 &#39;산타 랠리&#39;의 가능성을 염두에 두고 2024년의 중요한 시점을 정리해 보려고 한다.

2024년 S&amp;P 500 지수는 57회 사상 최고치 경신, 나스닥 급등의 30%는 &#39;매그 7&#39; 그룹이 주도

The year of milestones, 2024, has seen an unperturbed rise in the current bull market, which is nearly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42430296/carson-researchs-50-year-study-suggests-that-the-26-months-old-bull-market-is-far-from-over">26 months</a> old. It is higher by more than 70% from the mid-October 2022 lows. As we wrap up the year with the possibility of a &#8216;Santa Rally,&#8217; let&#8217;s recap 2024&#8217;s landmark junctures.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Major U.S. Benchmarks Scale Fresh Records</h3>
The S&amp;P 500 Index has made 57 new all-time highs this year, hitting the last one on Dec. 6, 2024. Also, &#8220;2024 would go down as the best election year return ever,&#8221; said Ryan Detrick, the chief market strategist at Carson Research in a note.
&#8220;Going back 50 years, we found five other bull markets that had lasted at least this long and the shortest any of them lasted was five total years. Think of it like a cruise ship — once it gets moving, it can be quite hard to stop,&#8221; added Detrick
While the S&amp;P 500 index was up 25.96% on a year-to-date basis as of Dec. 23 close, the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) rose by 25.82% in the same period.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average index, on the other hand, hit a record eight 1,000-point milestones this year. It started the year around the 37,000 level and breached the 45,000 level at the beginning of December. It took only seven trading days for the index to go from 44,000 to 45,000, the second fastest 1,000-point milestone ever. Following that the index also saw one of its longest 10-day losing streak, the first ever since 1974.
Dow was up 13.77% year-to-date as of the Dec. 23 close, whereas the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DIA#NYSE">DIA</a>) gained 13.74% in the same period.
The Nasdaq 100 index which includes all the &#8216;magnificent seven&#8217; stocks, unlike Dow, rose 29.98% year-to-date as Dec. 23 close. The ETF tracking the index, Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) rose by 33.85% in the same period. Whereas, the Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) rose by 29.88% in 2024.
The smallcap index Russell 2000 was up 11.16% over the year, while iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) was up 10.97% in the same period as of the Dec. 23 close.

Among the developed economies, the S&amp;P 500 remains the best index with a 25.96% gain on a year-to-date basis, outperforming all the other developed market indices.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Communication, Consumer Discretionary, And Technology Lead Gains In 2024</h3>
Tracking the exchange-traded funds that track the major sectors in the U.S. market, communication services emerged as the top sector for the year, followed by consumer discretionary and technology. The information technology sector has the highest weight of 31.3% in the S&amp;P 500, followed by financials a t13.9%.
BlackRock said that they see technology companies&#8217; earnings performing well in 2025. &#8220;We are overweight as the AI theme and earnings growth broaden. Valuations for AI beneficiaries are supported by tech companies delivering on earnings.&#8221;

Among the defensive sectors, utilities emerged as a winner, whereas energy was an underperformer. Consumer staples, energy, and utilities take up 5.7%, 3.4%, and 2.5% weight, respectively in the S&amp;P 500 index.
As per Morgan Stanley, the energy sector faces a divided future. Trump's deregulation could benefit traditional energy, but the outlook for oil is uncertain due to potential oversupply and weak global demand, especially from China. In contrast, natural gas may see growth from strong European demand and increased domestic use for electrification and AI-powered data centers. The clean energy sector could face challenges, if Trump rollbacks Biden's 2022 Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. However, a full repeal seems unlikely due to the benefits for Republican states.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">U.S. Dollar Surges Over 6% In 2024</h3>
The Dollar index was up 6.72% year-to-date with a 52-week range of 100.1570 to 108.5410 per unit. If the Greenback can hold on to these gains, the currency would leave behind the second-best year since 2015.
The UDS&#8217;s demand has been rising due to the &#8220;Uncertainties arising from expected Trump's policies and hawkish comments from the Fed towards rate cycle,&#8221; said Kunal Sodhani, vice president of the global trading center at Shinhan Bank.
According to Franklin Templeton, &#8220;The Fed easing cycle will be a dominant factor for the USD. The two main comparisons we draw against the Fed cyclically, interest-rate-wise, are emerging markets, and Japan.&#8221;
WisdomTree Bloomberg US Dollar Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USDU#NYSE">USDU</a>) was up 13.24% on a year-to-date basis, as of Dec. 23 close, where as Invesco DB US Dollar Index Bullish Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) advanced by 7.21% in the same period.

S&P 500 Hits 57 All-Time Highs In Record-Breaking 2024: Magnificent 7 Drive 30% Of Nasdaq's Surge

Even as major tech players like&nbsp;Nvidia&nbsp;bask in the AI spotlight,&nbsp;Super Micro Computer Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMCI#NASDAQ">SMCI</a>) has quietly reaped significant rewards from its exposure to this booming technology. Since the start of 2023, coinciding with the launch of OpenAI&#8217;s ChatGPT and the early days of the AI revolution, SMCI&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/01/36842111/why-super-micro-computer-shares-are-trading-higher-by-over-10-here-are-20-stocks-moving-premarket" rel="noreferrer noopener">shares have skyrocketed</a>.
What Does Super Micro Do? Based in San Jose, California, Super Micro designs and manufactures high-performance server and storage solutions for demanding computational tasks. Notably, 71% of their revenue comes from the U.S., with Asia, Europe, and Others contributing 18%, 8%, and 3%, respectively.
Strong Financials And Optimistic Outlook: In late January, Super Micro reported fiscal-year 2024 Q2 revenue exceeding $3.66 billion, doubling compared to the previous year. Even more impressive, they raised their annual revenue guidance to a staggering $14.3 billion-$14.7 billion, reflecting strong demand for their optimized AI computer platforms.
&#8220;While we continue to win new partners, our current end customers continue to demand more of Supermicro's optimized AI computer platforms and rack-scale Total IT Solutions,&#8221; said&nbsp;Charles Liang,&nbsp;President and CEO of Super Micro.

Outperforming Competition:&nbsp;Super Micro&#8217;s stock has risen a staggering 183% year-to-date, significantly outperforming both Nvidia&#8217;s 46.6% gain and the&nbsp;Philadelphia Semiconductor Index&#8216;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NASDAQ">SOXX</a>) 8.5% gain. Interestingly, since 2023, Super Micro has even surpassed Nvidia&#8217;s growth by a margin of 482%.
Super Micro&#8217;s shares surpassed the $1,000 mark on Thursday but retreated the following day. The stock closed Friday&#8217;s session at $803.32, marking a 19.99% decline. The pullback followed cautious remarks from Wells Fargo&#8217;s semiconductor analyst, who initiated coverage with an &#8220;Equal-Weight&#8221; rating on the belief the stock already reflects the company&#8217;s impressive earnings potential.

Since the start of 2023, Super Micro has outperformed the AI biggies by a mile. Nvidia has appreciated 397% since the start of 2023 compared to a steeper 879% gain for Super Micro.

Thanks to the stellar rally since 2023, Super Micro graduated to being a large-cap (which by definition is over $10 billion in market-cap) in the middle of 2023.

Last week, BofA Securities analyst Ruplu Bhattacharya initiated coverage of Super Micro Computer with a Buy rating and a price target of $1,040. The company is growing its backlog and expanding its capacity to support strong revenue growth, with 50% of revenue now &#8220;tied to accelerators like GPUs,&#8221; he said.
The analyst expects the AI server market to grow at a 50% compounded annual growth rate over the next three years, a marked acceleration from the average overall server market growth of 5.5% over the past 17 years. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/02/37162949/why-this-super-micro-computer-analyst-is-bullish-revenues-could-grow-even-faster">Super Micro&#8217;s revenue could outgrow the overall market, </a>he added.
Fund manager Louis Navellier said, &#8220;Super Micro Computer (SMCI) is actually beating Nvidia this year in the wake of its outstanding results and guidance.&nbsp; So&nbsp;money is on the move and it is headed to more small and mid-capitalization companies that are prospering from explosive sales and earnings growth.&#8221;&nbsp;&nbsp;
There could be incremental upside for these companies, as about $8.8 trillion in cash is waiting on the sidelines, he said.
Returns From $1,000 Investment: Super Micro went public in March 2007 by selling 8 million shares at $8 per share. The stock opened the debut session at $8.85 and traded in a range of $8.66-$9.31 before settling at $8.76.
A $1,000 investment in Super Micro IPO would have fetched 125 shares in 2007 and the same shares are now worth $100,415. This translates to a return of 9,942%. In comparison, an investment of the same magnitude in the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>), an exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq Composite Index would have fetched returns of 667%.

Nvidia's Rally Steals Limelight, But This Unsung AI-Levered Stock Has Witnessed A 9,900% Rocket Ride Since 2007 IPO

Technology stocks are likely to have a high probability of rallying in the just-started month of October and then extending their positive performance into the fourth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets">quarter of the year.</a>
This optimistic outlook is substantiated by a study conducted by Datatrek Research, which analyzed the historical returns of the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq Composite indices.
The analysis hinges on the &#8220;Strong January Return Indicator,&#8221; a metric designed to forecast the performance of major U.S. stock indices in years when January exhibits substantially positive gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What Is The January Effect On The Stock Market?</h2>
On Wall Street, an age-old adage states, &#8220;So goes January, so goes the year,&#8221; and the year 2023 perfectly aligns with this adage.
In January 2023, the S&amp;P 500 index, tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>), surged by an impressive 6.2%, while the Nasdaq Composite, represented by the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONEQ#NYSE">ONEQ</a>), experienced an even more remarkable gain of 10.6%.

Excluding 2023, there have been only eight instances where the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq saw returns that surpassed their January averages by more than one standard deviation, with the S&amp;P 500 gaining over 5% and the Nasdaq over 8.5%.
In these years, Datatrek has identified a recurring seasonal pattern. The two primary indices tend to show above-average returns for the whole. Both post average positive returns in each quarter of the year, except for the Nasdaq in the Q3.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What to Anticipate for October 2023 and Q4?</h2>
As we enter October in a Strong January year, the S&amp;P 500 has roughly equal odds of advancing this month, while the Nasdaq boasts a significantly higher likelihood (83%) of doing so. 
Historically, the S&amp;P has, on average, dipped by 2.8% in October during &#8216;Strong January&#8217; years, whereas the Nasdaq has shown a gain of 0.8%.
Excluding the outlier of October 1987, characterized by the Stock Market Crash of 1987, the S&amp;P&#8217;s decline has been minimal at just 0.1%, while the Nasdaq has recorded an average increase of 6.4% during &#8220;Strong January&#8221; years.
Both the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq typically exhibit strong performance in the fourth quarter of &#8220;Strong January&#8221; years. The S&amp;P experienced gains in the fourth quarter during 6 out of 8 years, with an average increase of 1.2%.
Excluding two outliers such as 1987 and 2018, the S&amp;P achieved an average gain of 7.7%. The Nasdaq displayed even more promising results, with gains in the fourth quarter during 5 out of 6 years, averaging an impressive 15.3%. When excluding the outlier of the fourth quarter of 1987, the Nasdaq&#8217;s average gain reached an impressive 23.5%.

How The 'January Effect' Could Spark Tech Stock Renaissance In October, Q4

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) increased by 5.56% in November, recording two subsequent monthly increases for the first time in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJA) ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mirrored this upward trend, showing monthly increases in October of 4.43% and 5.72%, respectively.&nbsp;
On November 2nd, the Federal Reserve hiked its key interest rate by 75 basis points, a figure congruent with expectations. The market dropped 2.51% on the day the news was released but closed roughly 6% higher than the day&rsquo;s close at the end of the month. While the Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell has not yet decreed a slow-down in interest rate hikes, Powell said a rate-hike slowdown is possible in December. The comment, issued on Nov. 30, caused the SPDR S&amp;P500 ETF Trust to rise by 3.15%.&nbsp;
In the meantime, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) markets maintained the total monthly volume from last month, recording $36.3 million in November. The regulated markets also saw a number of new entrants in both the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $6.7 billion in trading volume in November, a figure which has remained unchanged from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/22/11/29700772/the-otcqb-venture-market-records-4-months-of-consecutive-volume-increases-in-otc-market-grou">October</a>.&nbsp;
The top three companies on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most-Active list experienced a slight reshuffle in November. Volume surged into crypto-centric securities Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>). The former doubled its trading volume in November, propelling it into first place on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most-Active list. Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) is now nestled between the two crypto giants on the list, securing second place.&nbsp;
The remaining constituents in OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 Most-Active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in November, welcoming Zurich Insurance Group (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>) and Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) in place of Royal DSM NV and Anglo American plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aaukf#OTCQX">AAUKF</a>) respectively.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">ASM International N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asmiy#OTCQX">ASMIY</a>) claimed the 17th spot on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 98% increase in trading volume.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">JBS S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbsay#OTCQX">JBSAY</a>) claimed the 27th spot on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 94% increase in trading volume.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Bombardier Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bdrbf#OTCQX">BDRBF</a>) claimed the 28th spot on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 203% increase in trading volume.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market: New Faces&nbsp;</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $652.4 million in trading volume in November, a slight decrease from the $739 million recorded in October.&nbsp;
Like the OTCQX Best Market, the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s top 10 Most Active list for the month saw new entries. Specifically, CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>), GPO PLUS INC. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gpox#OTCQB">GPOX</a>) and Evofem Biosciences Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/evfm#OTCQB">EVFM</a>) made way for Vision Energy Corporation (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vihdd#OTCQB">VIHDD</a>), Atlas Lithium Corporation (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/atlx#OTCQB">ATLX</a>) and Clean Vision Corporation (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/clnv#OTCQB">CLNV</a>)
The three new securities address different market segments. Vision Energy Corporation, for example, specializes in building hydrogen production facilities, while Evofem Biosciences is working on a hormone-free contraceptive for women. Atlas Lithium, as its name suggests, is a mineral exploration company with an emphasis on Lithium.&nbsp;
Other notable movers include:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Fission 3.0 Corp (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fisof#OTCQB">FISOF</a>), which climbed to 24th place on the Most Active list and recorded a $3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Crimson Wine Group Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwgl#OTCQB">CWGL</a>), which climbed to 11th place on the Most Active list and recorded an $8.7 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>

OTC Market Group's Most Active List In November: A Dive Into The Names Experiencing Volume Changes

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) increased by 8.13% in October &mdash; its second-largest monthly increase in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJA) ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mirrored this downward trend, showing monthly increases in October of 4.03% and 13.96%, respectively.&nbsp;
The DJA&rsquo;s uncharacteristic strength in this market seems to suggest that value stocks, a traditionally safer set of securities, seem to be favored by investors. The oil, biotechnology and finance sectors seem to be demonstrating some strength.&nbsp;
As investor trepidations simmered with another Federal Reserve-sponsored rate hike, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight decrease in total monthly volume, recording $37.2 billion in October compared to $39.5 billion in September.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $6.7 billion in trading volume in October, a slight decrease over the $7.3 billion in trading volume in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/22/10/29434942/most-active-on-the-otc-markets-in-september-a-look-back-as-october-comes-to-a-close">September</a>.
For the first time in months, the top three contenders on the OTCQX&rsquo;s Most-Active list remain unchanged from the prior month. Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) remain in the first-, second- and third-most-traded positions.
The remaining constituents in OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in October, welcoming both new and familiar faces in Royal DSM NV (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdsmy#OTCQX">RDSMY</a>) and Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>). The two newcomers displace Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and Akzo Nobel N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/akzoy#OTCQX">AKZOY</a>) in the top 10 most-active securities list.&nbsp;

<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Curaleaf Hldngs Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/curlf#OTCQX">CURLF</a>) claimed the 21st spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 132% increase in trading volume.&nbsp;</li>

The OTCQB Venture Market Records 4 Months Of Consecutive Volume Increases In OTC Market Group's Most-Active List In October

The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 9.62% in September &ndash; its largest decline in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mimicked this downward trend, showing monthly decreases in September of 10.54% and 8.98%, respectively.
OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly volume, recording $39.5 billion in September compared to $39.3 billion in August.&nbsp;
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7.3 billion in trading volume in September, a slight increase over the $6.9 billion traded in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/22/09/28827948/a-quick-look-at-the-otc-markets-most-active-securities-in-august-heres-what-you-need-to-know">August</a>.
Despite Ethereum&rsquo;s successful completion of the Merge, trading volume in Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) waned in September, dropping the security to third on the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most Active list. Steadfast performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) slotted into first and second place, respectively.&nbsp;
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in September, welcoming previously familiar faces in Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and in Deutsche Telekom AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dtegy#OTCQX">DTEGY</a>) and Akzo Nobel N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/akzoy#OTCQX">AKZOY</a>). The three newcomers displace BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>), Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) and Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imbby#OTCQX">IMBBY</a>) in the top 10 most-active securities list.&nbsp;

</ul>
<ul>
<li>Koninklijke Ahold Delhaize N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/adrny#OTCQX">ADRNY</a>) claimed the 15th spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 127% increase in trading volume.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $642.6 million in trading volume in September, an increase from both July&rsquo;s $463 million and August&rsquo;s $601 million trading volume figures.
Like the OTCQX Best Market, the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s top 10 Most Active list for the month saw new entries. Specifically, Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tomdf#OTCQB">TOMDF</a>) and American Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/liacf#OTCQB">LIACF</a>) made way for Global Tech Industries Group Inc.

Similar to August, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in September. In addition to two new companies on the top 10 Most Active List, the constituents of the list experienced a shakeup. Biotechnology company CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>), for example, dropped from most traded to seventh-most traded security, while newcomer Global Tech Industries took a giant leap all the way to first place. Lithium miner Lake Resources N.L. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) experienced a similar jump, rising to second place from eighth place last month.&nbsp;

<ul>
<li>BioLargo Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/blgo#OTCQB">BLGO</a>) climbed to 23rd place on the Most Active list and recorded a $2.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.</li>

Most Active On The OTC Markets In September – A Look Back As October Comes To A Close

While July gave markets around the world a breather, August reestablished 2022&rsquo;s choppy financial conditions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined by 4.08% in August, its fifth month of decline in 2022. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) mirrored this downward trend, showing monthly decreases of 4.59% and 3.96%, respectively, in August.
Given the possibility &mdash; some think <a href="https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/interest-rate">probability</a> &mdash; that the Federal Reserve will hike rates yet again in September, and the fact that global economies are <a href="https://blogs.imf.org/2022/07/26/global-economic-growth-slows-amid-gloomy-and-more-uncertain-outlook/#:~:text=Inflation%20this%20year%20is%20anticipated,projected%20to%20remain%20elevated%20longer.">experiencing</a> growing inflationary pressures, investor sentiment appears to have altered course in August when compared to July. While some warn that the U.S. may be heading into a <a href="https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/long-moderate-and-painful-what-next-us-recession-may-look-like-1.1787303">prolonged</a> recession, others report that recent macroeconomic data &mdash; like a 3.7% <a href="https://www.marketwatch.com/economy-politics/calendar">unemployment</a> rate &mdash; do not support this argument.
Even as ambiguity surrounds the market&rsquo;s future movements, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly volume in August, recording $39.3 billion in trades for the month compared to $37.3 billion in July. Additionally, two Ethereum-based securities found themselves in improved positions on the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most Active list.&nbsp;
Finally, a number of new securities have emerged on the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market, which could potentially be of interest to investors despite the relatively bearish sentiment experienced throughout the month and year so far. Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence in August, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets being composed of international operators.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7 billion in trades in August, a figure that has been relatively unchanged since July.&nbsp;
Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) rose to the top of OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s most-active list, while steadfast performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) slotted in as the second and third most-traded securities.&nbsp;
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in August, welcoming Imperial Brands PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/imbby#OTCQX">IMBBY</a>), a multinational tobacco company, and Computer Services Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/csvi#OTCQX">CSVI</a>). The two displace Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>), two usuals in the OTCQX&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list.
Despite poor market conditions around the globe, the OTCQX Best Market has managed to maintain its hold on a number of industries, as demonstrated by the constituents of its Most Active list. Below are some of the companies on the list along with their relevant specialties:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>): Semiconductor solutions.</li>
<li>BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bffaf#OTCQX">BFFAF</a>): Chemical manufacturing.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>): Digital currency investment product</li>
<li>Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>): Cannabis sales and cultivation.</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>): Alcohol manufacturing and distribution.</li>
</ul>
Of the 30 securities on the Most Active list, 22 were international operators. Some of these were new faces like the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Imperial Brands and Canada&rsquo;s Reconnaissance Energy Africa Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/recaf#OTCQX">RECAF</a>), while some regulars like Germany&rsquo;s Adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) were also present.
Other notable volume movers:
<ul>
<li>Grayscale Ethereum Classic Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/etcg#OTCQX">ETCG</a>) claimed the 23rd spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active list, experiencing a 112% increase in trading volume.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle In August</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $601 million in trades in August, an increase from July&rsquo;s $463 million figure.
Like the OTCQX Best Market, the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list saw two new entries. Specifically, American Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/liacf#OTCQB">LIACF</a>) and Todos Medical Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tomdf#OTCQB">TOMDF</a>) made their way into the top 10.
Similar to July, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in August. In addition to two new companies on the Top 10 Most Active list, the second, third and fourth most-active securities also changed. Computer memory subsystems specialist Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>), mortgage financiers Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>), and Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) made way for Stemtech Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stek#OTCQB">STEK</a>), Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>) and American Battery Technology Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abml#OTCQB">ABML</a>).&nbsp;
Thirteen international securities landed a spot on the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Most Active list. Of these, four are Australian, six are Canadian, one is Israeli, one is South African and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;

A Quick Look At The OTC Markets' Most-Active Securities In August - Here's What You Need to Know

July gave world markets a breather from 2022&rsquo;s poor financial conditions.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY) increased 9.21% in July, its highest monthly price ascension since November 2020. The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar optimism, showing monthly increases of 12.51% and 6.78%, respectively, in July.
The market has reacted favorably to some recent developments, including The Federal Reserve&rsquo;s decision to maintain rather than increase interest rates as well as the release of this <a href="https://www.bls.gov/">report</a>, which reveals that 528,000 jobs have been added to the economy. Some expert traders, however, remain skeptical of July&rsquo;s bullish movement, noting the similarity of this rally to the one experienced in 2008. The latter was followed by a second wave of downward movement that stretched over months.
As ambiguity simmers surrounding market sentiment, OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight decrease in total monthly volume, recording $37.3 billion in July compared to $45.2 billion in June.
Despite the decrease, a number of new securities have emerged onto the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market, possibly demonstrating the ability to attract interest in a wide range of industries. Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets composed of international operators.
<h3>A Dive Into The OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Most-Active List</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $7 billion in trading volume in July, a decrease from June&rsquo;s $9 billion.
Weathering the storm of decreasing volume are the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s steadfast volume performers Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>). In July, Roche Holding reaped the most trading volume as opposed to Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, which took that spot in June.
Additionally, OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in July, welcoming BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>) in place of Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>).
Despite decreasing month-on-month volume figures, the OTCQX Best Market has managed to maintain its hold on a number of industries, as demonstrated by the constituents of its Most Active list. Below are some of the companies and their relevant specialties:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Danone S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>): Healthcare.</li>
<li>Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>): Semiconductor solutions.</li>
<li>BASF SE (OTCQX: BASFY; BFFAF): Chemical manufacturing.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>): Cryptocurrency mining.</li>
<li>Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>): Cannabis sales and cultivation.</li>
<li>Heineken N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>): Alcohol manufacturing and distribution.</li>
</ul>
Similar to June, 23 of the 30 Most Active constituents on the OTCQX Best Market were international operators. Some of these included new faces like Switzerland&rsquo;s Zurich Insurance Group and Germany&#39;s BASF SE, but regulars like Germany&rsquo;s Adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and the United Kingdom&rsquo;s Anglo American PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) were also present.
Other notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Ayr Wellness Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ayrwf#OTCQX">AYRWF</a>) claimed the No. 30 spot on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 150% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Experiences A Reshuffle In July</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $463 million in trading volume in July, a decline from June&rsquo;s $603 million figure.
July introduced several new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Active list. Stem-cell specialist Stemtech Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/stek#OTCQB">STEK</a>) and mining operator Brazil Minerals Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bmix#OTCQB">BMIX</a>) were among the new additions.
Similar to June, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in July. In addition to three new companies, all three of the most-traded securities in the market changed. June&rsquo;s OTCQB Most Active leaders Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and Lake Resources (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) made way for biotech operator CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>) and computer memory subsystems specialist Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>).
Thirteen international securities landed a spot on the OTCQB Venture Market&rsquo;s Most Active list. Of these 13, three are Australian, eight are Canadian, one is British and one is from Hong Kong.
Other notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Snowline Gold Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snwgf#OTCQB">SNWGF</a>) climbed to 15th place in the Most Active list and recorded a $3.8 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>88 Energy Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/eeenf#OTCQB">EEENF</a>) climbed to 13th place in the Most Active list and recorded a $3.5 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.</li>

OTC Markets' Most Active Securities Sees A Shake-up In July

Reflecting the expected conditions of a bear market, many of the world&rsquo;s indices saw a decrease in price throughout June.
The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, declined 8.26% in June, a very similar decline to the one seen in April. The SPY&rsquo;s maximum decline since its peak in January is 24%, falling within the standard definition of a bear market.&nbsp;
The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar weakness, showing declines of 8.7% and 6.78%, respectively, in June.
Despite the decline in market indices and exchange-traded funds (ETFs), OTC Markets Group Inc.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) regulated markets experienced a slight increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $45.2 billion in June compared to $44.5 billion in May. Additionally, the operator saw former cryptocurrency and mortgage financiers return to the helm of the Most Actively Traded Securities list on two of its regulated markets.&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained a significant international presence, with over half of the top most-traded securities across both markets composed of international operators.
<h3>Crypto Reclaims The Helm Of The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities&nbsp;</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $9 billion in trading volume in June, a decrease from May&rsquo;s $11 billion.&nbsp;
Despite the decrease in volume, former leaders have begun to reclaim their place among the Most Active Securities list. Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), for example, has reclaimed its spot as the most-traded security on the OTCQX Best Market, followed by May&rsquo;s leader Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
Additionally, the OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in June, welcoming&nbsp;
Experian PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>) in place of AXA SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>) and Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>).
International operators, once again, maintained a strong presence on OTCQX, comprising 23 of the top 30 securities, down from 24 in May. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas SA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Mexico&rsquo;s Wal-Mart De Mexico S.A.B. de C.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wmmvy#OTCQX">WMMVY</a>) and Australia&rsquo;s Fortescue Metals Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fsugy#OTCQX">FSUGY</a>) made it among June&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) claimed fourth place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes Back Mortgage Financiers</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $603 million in trading volume in June, a decline from May&rsquo;s $896 million figure.
June introduced two new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Biotech operator CytoDyn Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cydy#OTCQB">CYDY</a>) and aerospace and defense company Applied Energetics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aerg#OTCQB">AERG</a>) represent the new faces on the list.
Similar to May, the OTCQB Venture Market witnessed a number of novelties in June. In addition to two new companies, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed. Mortgage financiers Fannie Mae (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fnma#OTCQB">FNMA</a>) and Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) reclaimed their positions as the first- and third-most traded securities and Lake Resources (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) claimed its spot as the second most-traded security.
All three former &ldquo;Most Active Top 3s&rdquo; &ndash; Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) &ndash; remain on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Venture Market Top 10 Most Active Securities list, potentially hinting at sustained investor interest.
Twelve international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 12 securities, eight are Canadian, two are Australian, one is English, and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Wiki Soft Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/wsft#OTCQB">WSFT</a>) climbed to 12th place in the most-active group and recorded a $6.6 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Sharing Economy International Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/seii#OTCQB">SEII</a>) experienced a $3.7 million increase in trading volume compared to May, climbing to 19th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

Mortgage Financiers & Crypto Securities Reclaim Their Spots As Most Actively Traded Securities On OTC Markets In June

Reflecting the world&rsquo;s uncertainty about the U.S. economy, the market&rsquo;s major indices saw incredible volatility in May.&nbsp;
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track major indices tell this story with relative clarity. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEARCA: SPY), for example, reached a high of $429.66 and hit a low of $380.54 in May before closing at $412.93. The Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) displayed similar erratic behavior.&nbsp;
Despite the volatility of the market, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>)&rsquo;s regulated markets&nbsp; experienced a steady increase in total monthly dollar volume, recording $44.5 billion in May compared to $40.6 billion in April. Additionally, the operator saw a former OTCQB Venture Market security springboard onto the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s List of 10 Most Active Securities in the same month it <a href="https://financialpost.com/globe-newswire/otc-markets-group-welcomes-sprott-physical-uranium-trust-to-otcqx">upgraded</a> from the OTCQB. .&nbsp;
Both the OTCQX Best Market and the OTCQB Venture Market maintained significant international presence, recording a total of 39 international operators among the top most-traded securities in each market.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities Welcomes New Faces</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded $11 billion in trading volume in May, an increase from April&rsquo;s $10.5 billion figure.&nbsp;
Retaining their spots as first-, second- and third-most traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market are&nbsp; Roche Holding AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>) and Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>).&nbsp;
The OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in May, welcoming AXA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/axahy#OTCQX">AXAHY</a>), Danone (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>) and OTCQB graduate Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQX">SRUUF</a>). Having been the most-traded security on the OTCQB Venture Market last month, Sprott was the ninth most-traded security on the OTCQX just one month later.
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX composing 24 of the top 30 securities, up from 21 in April. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>) and adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most-active securities, while Norway&rsquo;s Norsk Hydro ASA (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nhydy#OTCQX">NHYDY</a>) and Ireland&rsquo;s Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) made it among May&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities.
Other notable movers:
&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Royal DSM NV (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rdsmy#OTCQX">RDSMY</a>) claimed 15th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 160% change in trading volume from last month.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Repsol S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/repyy#OTCQX">REPYY</a>) claimed 25th place on the OTCQX&rsquo;s list of most-traded securities, experiencing a 111% change in trading volume from last month.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Welcomes A New Leading Company As Sprott Graduates To The OTCQX</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $896 million in trading volume in May, a decline from April&rsquo;s $1.1 billion figure.&nbsp;
May introduced three new entities to the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 Most-Traded Securities list. Government services operator Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. (Freddie Mac) (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>) and portfolio management company Phoenix Rising Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/prcx#OTCQB">PRCX</a>) represent the new faces on the block.
Newness seemed almost a theme in the OTCQB Venture Market in May. In addition to three new faces, all three of the top most-traded securities in the market changed with Northwest Biotherapeutics Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nwbo#OTCQB">NWBO</a>), Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) and Netlist Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nlst#OTCQB">NLST</a>) taking positions as first, second and third most traded, respectively.
Fifteen international securities landed a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities. Of these 15 securities, nine are Canadian, three are Australian, one is English, one is South African and one is Swiss.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
<ul>
<li>Crimson Wine Group Ltd. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cwgl#OTCQB">CWGL</a>) climbed to 24th place in the most-active group and recorded a $2.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Valour Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/deftf#OTCQB">DEFTF</a>) &mdash; formerly DeFi Technologies &mdash; experienced a $1.8 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 28th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;</li>

First-quarter 2022 market performance results seem arguably clear: bears are currently happy with the world&rsquo;s financial markets.&nbsp;
Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that track major indices tell this story with relative clarity. SPDR S&amp;P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (NYSE Arca: SPY), the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) and the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE Arca: DIA) all experienced drawbacks in April.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Germany&rsquo;s Global X DAX ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dax#NASDAQ">DAX</a>), Japan&rsquo;s iShares MSCI Index Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ewj#NYSE">EWJ</a>) and Australia&rsquo;s iShares MSCI Index Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ewa#NYSE">EWA</a>) mirrored the U.S.&rsquo;s ETF trend, experiencing similar price declines.
On a macro level, the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s decision to impose <a href="https://www.reuters.com/business/fed-raise-rates-aggressively-coming-months-say-economists-2022-04-11/">multiple federal rate hikes</a> and the war between Russia and Ukraine are often cited as some of the largest reasons that leave investors cautious for the remainder of the year.&nbsp;
OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) was not immune to market influences in April. The operator of regulated markets reported a total monthly dollar volume of $40.6 billion, compared to $57.4 billion in March. Despite this reduction, the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market maintained a strong international presence and witnessed rising trading volume in select securities.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market Most-Active Securities Welcomes New Faces</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded a total of $10.5 billion in trading volume in April, a slight decrease from March&rsquo;s $12.4 billion figure.&nbsp;
The top three most-active securities on the OTCQX were Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) and Roche Holdings AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>), the last of which rose from third-most-traded security in March to the first-most-traded in April.&nbsp;
The OTCQX&rsquo;s top 10 most-active securities experienced a slight reshuffle in April, welcoming three new companies: ASM International N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/asmiy#OTCQX">ASMIY</a>), Anglo American plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ngloy#OTCQX">NGLOY</a>) and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>).&nbsp;
On its rise to fourth place on OTCQX&rsquo;s Most Active Securities list, ASM recorded a significant increase in trading volume compared to last month. The Netherlands-headquartered company specializes in the design, manufacturing, sales and service of semiconductor devices.&nbsp;
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX composing 21 of the top 30 securities. France&rsquo;s BNP Paribas S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) and Germany&rsquo;s Infineon Technologies AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ifnny#OTCQX">IFNNY</a>), adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>) and BASF SE (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/basfy#OTCQX">BASFY</a>) were again on the OTCQX top 10 most active securities, while Ireland&rsquo;s Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>) and South Africa&rsquo;s Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/impuy#OTCQX">IMPUY</a>) made it among April&rsquo;s top 30 most active securities.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market Holds Steady Amid Market Uncertainty</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded a total of $1.1 billion dollars in trading volume in April, a slight decrease from March&rsquo;s $1.2 billion figure.&nbsp;
Nine of the 10 securities on March&rsquo;s Top Most-Traded Securities on the OTCQB retained their spots on April&rsquo;s list with Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ltum#OTCQB">LTUM</a>) representing the new face on the block.
The presence of international operators on the OTCQB Best Market was reinvigorated in April, with 17 internationals landing a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities, up from 13 in March. Of these 17 securities, 11 are Canadian, four are Australian, one is English and one is from Hong Kong.&nbsp;
Other notable movers:&nbsp;
Sprott Physical Uranium Trust Fund (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQB">SRUUF</a>) retained its title as the most-traded security on OTCQB.&nbsp;
Lithium Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/liacf#OTCQB">LIACF</a>) climbed to 10th place in the most-active group and recorded a $16.3 million rise in trading volume compared to last month.&nbsp;
Voxtur Analytics Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vxtrf#OTCQB">VXTRF</a>) experienced an $8.7 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 13th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;
Sysorex Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sysx#OTCQB">SYSX</a>) recorded an $8.3 million increase in trading volume compared to March, climbing to 14th place on the OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 30.&nbsp;

The OTC Markets' Most Active Securities Welcomes New Names And Experiences A Reshuffle In April

This post contains sponsored advertising content. This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be investing advice.
Trading volume appears to be moving back to OTC Markets&nbsp; following <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/penny-stocks/22/03/26137786/the-otcqxs-top-10-experience-a-shuffle-in-february">a slight slump</a> in February.
A look at March&rsquo;s&nbsp; volumes across the markets operated by OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) shows a total monthly total dollar volume of $57.4 billion, up from $44 billion in February.
This rise in volume comes alongside a slight relaxation in the bear runs that encompassed January and February across a variety of markets. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (NYSE Arca: SPY), for example, experienced its first monthly increase in 2022, rising 3.44% in March. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE Arca: DIA) and the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) experienced similar rises, increasing 2.21% and 3.5%, respectively, in March.
As the market provides a slight psychological breather following <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/kristinmckenna/2022/03/14/its-been-one-of-the-top-5-worst-starts-to-a-year-for-stocks-and-bonds/?sh=37e61c8c6fca">one of the worst starts</a> in history for stocks, the OTCQX and OTCQB&rsquo;s 10 most-active securities may provide traders and investors with yet another talking point for March&rsquo;s movements.
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market: Volume Spikes And Reshuffling</h3>
The OTCQX Best Market recorded a total of $12.4 billion in trading volume in March.&nbsp;
Volume spikes across a variety of securities were likely pivotal in this increase over February&rsquo;s volume figure. Eight of the OTCQX&rsquo;s top 30 most-active securities experienced volume changes over 100% compared to February.
Notably, BNP Paribas S.A.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bnpqy#OTCQX">BNPQY</a>) volume jumped 225%; Adidas AG&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>),141%; Danone SA&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/danoy#OTCQX">DANOY</a>), 267%; and Zurich Insurance Group AG Ltd.&rsquo;s (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>), 379%;&nbsp;
Meanwhile, the top three securities &mdash; Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) and Roche Holdings AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) &mdash; retained their spots as first, second, and third-most traded securities on OTCQX. The first two experienced slight reductions in trading volume, while the third experienced an 80% increase compared to March.&nbsp;
International operators, once again, maintain a strong presence on OTCQX. France&rsquo;s Danone, Switzerland&rsquo;s Zurich Insurance Group, and Germany&rsquo;s BASF SE displace February&rsquo;s top 10 most active securities Trulieve Cannabis Corp. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcnnf#OTCQX">TCNNF</a>), Experian plc (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/expgy#OTCQX">EXPGY</a>), and Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>), moving them down to the 13th, 16th and 18th&nbsp; spots respectively.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market: Sustained International Interest</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded a total $1.2 billion dollar volume in February, an increase over February&rsquo;s total of $807 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The presence of international operators on the OTCQB Best Market was slightly reduced in February, with 13 internationals landing a spot among the top 30 most-traded securities in March, down from 16 in February. Of these 13 securities, eight are Canadian, four are Australian and one is English.&nbsp;
The top 10 most-active securities on the OTCQB experienced a slight reshuffle. American Battery Technology Co. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/abml#OTCQB">ABML</a>) extends last month&rsquo;s volume increase, rising from fifth place in February to fourth place in March. Lithium producer Lake Resources N.L. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) makes a rise to the top 10 most-active securities, displacing long-runner Freddie Mac (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmcc#OTCQB">FMCC</a>).&nbsp;
Other notable movers:
<ul>
<li>Sprott Physical Uranium Trust (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sruuf#OTCQB">SRUUF</a>) recorded a total dollar volume of $269.4 million in March, up from $84.7 million in February.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Lake Resources N.L. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/llkkf#OTCQB">LLKKF</a>) recorded a total dollar volume of $33.4 million in March, up from $9.8 million in February.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Clean Vision Corp. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/clnv#OTCQB">CLNV</a>) recorded a total dollar volume of $12.3 million in March, up from $0.7 million in February.&nbsp;</li>
<li>Farmers &amp; Merchants Bank of Long Beach (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fmbl#OTCQB">FMBL</a>) recorded a total dollar volume of $12.6 million in March, up from $2.8 million in February.</li>
</ul>
The continued presence of international operators on both the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market could be considered a testament to OTC Markets Group&rsquo;s ability to maintain its role as a bridge between international companies and a global investing community.&nbsp;

Volume Springs Back Into The OTC Markets In March – Take A Look At Some Of The Top Movers

This post contains sponsored advertising content. This content is for informational purposes only and is not intended to be investing advice.
Piggybacking off last month&rsquo;s performance, the markets&rsquo; major indices continued their downward trend throughout February. The SPDR S&amp;P 500 Exchange Traded Fund (NYSEARCA: SPY) declined 2.95% from a high of $458.12 to a low of $410.64 before closing at $436.63. The SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSEARCA: DIA) and the Fidelity Nasdaq Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) experienced similar slumps, declining 3.34% and 3.35% respectively in February.&nbsp;
It appears the market&rsquo;s poor start to the year may continue after Russia&rsquo;s invasion of Ukraine creates global uncertainty and sends economic reverberations across the world. Despite this, OTC Markets Group Inc. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/otcm#OTCQX">OTCM</a>) recorded a monthly total dollar volume of $44.7 billion across its markets in February.&nbsp;
Additionally, the OTCQX Best Market&rsquo;s Top 10 Most Traded Securities got an uncommon reshuffle with a security rising to fourth place, overtaking famous sportswear company adidas AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/addyy#OTCQX">ADDYY</a>).&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQX Best Market: Movement And Reshuffling</h3>
With political uncertainty brewing across Europe, it&rsquo;s perhaps unsurprising to note a reduction in dollar volume among many international operators in February. European operators adidas AG, Heineken N.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/heiny#OTCQX">HEINY</a>) and Zurich Insurance Group Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/zurvy#OTCQX">ZURVY</a>) all experienced a slight reduction in dollar volume while maintaining their rankings among the top 30 most-traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market.&nbsp;
The top three securities Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbtc#OTCQX">GBTC</a>), Grayscale Ethereum Trust (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ethe#OTCQX">ETHE</a>) and Roche Holdings AG (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rhhby#OTCQX">RHHBY</a>) experienced slight reductions in dollar volume despite maintaining their spots as the first, second, and third most traded securities on the OTCQX Best Market.&nbsp;
Crypto-trading company Voyager Digital Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vygvf#OTCQX">VYGVF</a>), platinum-producer Impala Platinum Holdings Ltd. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/impuy#OTCQX">IMPUY</a>) and global meat-processor JBS S.A. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jbsay#OTCQX">JBSAY</a>) experienced a 63%, 76%, and 68% increase in dollar volume, respectively, in February, and Mexico-based financial-services provider Grupo Financiero Banorte, S.A.B. De C.V. (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/gbooy#OTCQX">GBOOY</a>) experienced a 103% increase.&nbsp;
Stealing the spotlight, Tesco PLC (OTCQX: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tscdy#OTCQX">TSCDY</a>) experienced an abrupt rise to fourth place. The security records a dollar volume worth $347 million in February, placing it just below Roche Holdings&rsquo; $849 million figure.&nbsp;
<h3>The OTCQB Venture Market: Stability And International Presence</h3>
The OTCQB Venture Market recorded $807 million dollar volume in February. The OTCQB&rsquo;s Top 10 remains unchanged from January despite surprising increases in volume from a number of candidates.&nbsp;
John Marshall Bancorp Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jmsb#OTCQB">JMSB</a>), StrikeForce Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/sfor#OTCQB">SFOR</a>), and Trillion Energy International Inc. (OTCQB: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/tcff#OTCQB">TCFF</a>) experienced dollar volume increases and reported monthly dollar volumes of $57 million, $6.7 million, $6.2 million and $3.3 million, respectively.
Of the 30 most-traded securities on the OTCQB Venture Market, 16 are international operators. Of these 16 securities, 12 are Canadian, two are Australian, one is English and one is Israeli.&nbsp;
The continued presence of international operators on both the OTCQX Best Market and OTCQB Venture Market is a testament to the OTC Markets&rsquo; ability to maintain its role as a bridge between international companies and a global investing community.&nbsp;

The OTCQX's Top 10 Experience A Shuffle In February

Despite ongoing concerns about COVID-19, inflation, supply chain disruptions and rising interest rates, the Nasdaq is still trading more than 110% above its March 2020 lows.
Any tech investor during the past two years knows just how much of the recent growth in the tech sector is attributed to the five growth superstars of the Nasdaq: Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/fb#NASDAQ">FB</a>), Apple Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/amzn#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Netflix Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nflx#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) and Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/googl#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>).
These so-called FAANG stocks continue to deliver year-after-year of incredible growth numbers, even as their market caps swell to some of the largest in market history. While other companies were crushed by the pandemic, these FAANG stocks thrived in an environment of social distancing and remote working.

Tech Leadership Stumbles: Investors have done extremely well overall in the past year, but some stocks have certainly performed better than others. The SPDR S&amp;P 500&nbsp;ETF Trust (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>) total return in the past 12 months is 21%, but the total return of the Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) in that stretch is just 6.5%.
The Nasdaq kicked off 2020 trading at around 9,000. The index ultimately peaked at 9,838 prior to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic sell-off in March, which dropped the Nasdaq all the way back down to 6,631.
The sell-off was short-lived&nbsp;and the Nasdaq hit the 10,000 mark for the first time during the summer of 2020.
Tech stocks were hit by a period of volatility in September 2020. After peaking at 12,074.06, the index pulled back by more than 12% to 10,519.49 before breaking out to new highs in November 2020.
The index hit 13,000 in January 2021 and 14,000 in February before hitting another brief hiccup. The unwinding of the meme stock trading frenzy and a pullback in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-cryptocurrency/">cryptocurrency</a> prices triggered a flight out of risk assets, which weighed on the Nasdaq. The index dropped back to 12,397.05 in March 2021 and didn&#39;t break out to new highs until June.
The Nasdaq reached 15,000 in August 2021 and 16,000 in November, hitting its all-time high of 16,212.23. From that point forward, concerns over inflation and the potential for aggressive Federal Reserve interest rate hikes have weighed on Nasdaq tech stocks. Rising interest rates disproportionately impact the valuations of growth stocks because a rising cost of capital negatively impacts the value of future cash flows.
In January 2022, the Nasdaq dropped into correction territory, pulling back as low as 13,094.65 before bouncing back to around 14,056.
Patience Pays Off: At this point, the FAANG stocks have grown into complete tech <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/">sector</a> juggernauts. But some of them have made better investments than others over the past year.
Here&rsquo;s a breakdown of how much buying $1,000 in each stock on Jan.&nbsp;31, 2021, would be worth today, assuming reinvested dividends:
<ul>
<li>Netflix: $722</li>
<li>Amazon: $898</li>
<li>Meta: $1,168</li>
<li>Apple: $1,299</li>
<li>Alphabet: $1,460</li>
</ul>
Overall, a $5,000 investment in these five stocks split evenly a year ago would be worth $5,547 today, a 10.9% total return over a 12-month period.
Benzinga&rsquo;s Take: Among the FAANG group, only Apple and Alphabet have outpaced the 21% total return of the S&amp;P 500 over the past year. Not only has the group underperformed in the past 12 months, but investors have also endured painful losses in Netflix and Amazon.

If You Invested $1,000 In Each Of The FAANG Stocks One Year Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Now

It&#39;s been about 10 weeks since the DraftKings (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dkng#NASDAQ">DKNG</a>) initial public offering&nbsp;and while it&#39;s fair to say the stock is still hot, having more than tripled from its days as a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) late last year, shares of the online sports betting firm are in the midst of the first pullback.
Over the past month, DraftKings is lower by 20%. Several factors explain that retreat, including a recent spate of insider selling, which unnerved some smaller investors. Additionally, the recent resurgence in coronavirus cases is stoking doubt that the NHL and NBA will return as planned later this month. Moreover, a second wave of COVID-19 cases could force dramatically alter the landscape for the 2020 football season. Football is the most wagered on sport in the U.S.
Still, analysts remain enthusiastic about DraftKings, with several recent price targets on the name <a href="https://www.casino.org/news/draftkings-dfs-dominance-is-a-plus-for-the-stock-says-analyst/">touching or surpassing $50</a>.
For investors that want some DraftKings exposure, here are some ETFs to mull over.
Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index Fund (ONEQ)
The Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index Fund&#39;s (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>) weight to DraftKings is tiny at about 0.10%, but the fund is being mentioned here because of the stock&#39;s Nasdaq listing.
Something for index nerds and DraftKings shareholders to keep an eye one is when the stock makes the move to the <a href="https://indexes.nasdaqomx.com/Index/Weighting/NXTQ">NASDAQ Q-50 Index</a>, the index comprised of the next 50 companies inline for promotion to the popular Nasdaq-100 Index. DraftKings isn&#39;t here yet, but when it gets to the Q-50, it could just be a matter of time before it gets to the Nasdaq-100.
Roundhill Sports Betting &amp; iGaming ETF (BETZ)
The Roundhill Sports Betting &amp; iGaming ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/betz#NYSE">BETZ</a>) is the first ETF dedicated to the booming iGaming and sports wagering theme and it was the first ETF to feature DraftKings. Since BETZ debuted about a month ago, nine other ETFs have followed suit.
When BETZ launched, DraftKings was the fund&#39;s largest holding, but <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/20/06/16198499/sports-betting-etf-quickly-finds-fans-on-robinhood">some additions</a> to the underlying index and investors&#39; enthusiasm for some of the ETF&#39;s other components shuffled the sportsbook stock to the fifth spot at a weight of 5.29%. That is still tops among all ETFs with exposure to the stock.
Plus, BETZ is an undisputed success, raking in almost $89 million in assets in just a month on the market.
VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF (BJK)
BETZ is one of just two ETFs that devotes more than 0.50% to DraftKings. The other is the VanEck Vectors Gaming ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/bjk#NASDAQ">BJK</a>), which in a somewhat stealthy fashion, features a 5% weight to the stock, making it its <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/etf/equity/bjk/holdings/">sixth-largest holding</a>. Combine that with an 8.35% weight to FanDuel parent Flutter Entertainment (OTC: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/pdypy#OTC">PDYPY</a>), and BJK has increasing exposure to sports betting and iGaming.

3 ETFs For DraftKings Exposure

After adding $19 billion last month, exchange-traded products trading in the United States, including ETFs and exchange-traded notes (ETNs) have hauled in $145 billion in new assets through the first nine months of this year &ndash; a record for that time frame, according to <a href="http://etfgi.com/news/detail/newsid/686">ETFGI</a>, a London-based ETF research firm.
That suggest while the U.S. ETF industry remains dominated by the &ldquo;big three&rdquo; &ndash; iShares, Vanguard and State Street &ndash; there is still room for able competitors. That secondary group includes brokerage giants Charles Schwab Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/schw#NYSE">SCHW</a>) and privately held Fidelity. California-based Schwab and Boston-based Fidelity, though both late entrants to the ETF business, are now the seventh- and 22nd-largest U.S. ETF issuers, respectively. 
&ldquo;While Schwab&#39;s decision six years ago to add a broad array of low-cost ETFs has helped make it the seventh largest ETF provider at the end of September with $34 billion in assets according to etf.com, just ahead of Guggenheim, discount brokerage peer Fidelity was just outside the top-20 with $2.8 billion in assets,&rdquo; said <a href="http://trymsatoday.com/">S&amp;P Capital IQ</a> in a new research note.

<h3>Players In The Sector: Fidelity</h3>
Until late 2013, the Fidelity NASDAQ Comp. Index Trk Stk(ETF) (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>), a NASDAQ Composite tracking ETF, was Fidelity&#39;s lone ETF.
That year, the mutual fund giant launched a lineup of 10 sector funds, including the Fidelity MSCI Health Care Index ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/fhlc#NYSE">FHLC</a>) and the Fidelity MSCI Information Technology Index ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ftec#NYSE">FTEC</a>).
 The firm followed those launches up with the debuts of several actively managed bond funds and earlier this year, the Fidelity MSCI Real Estate Index ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/frel#NYSE">FREL</a>) debuted.
FHLC is the largest Fidelity ETF.
<h3>Players In The Sector: Schwab</h3>
At the end of the third quarter, ETF assets custodied at Schwab climbed 10 percent on a year-over-year basis to $237 billion, according to Schwab Third-Quarter Snapshot. Bond funds have been <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/15/10/5905516/forget-the-fed-investors-are-loving-bond-etfs">prolific asset gatherers</a> this year, with fixed income ETFs listed around the world now home to a combined $500 billion in assets under management.
Schwab is getting a piece of that action, as more than half of the company&#39;s third-quarter ETF inflows went into bond funds, with a third going into U.S. equity products, according to Schwab data.

<h3>Now And Looking Forward</h3>
&ldquo;Fidelity has more than $162 billion in ETF assets under administration and provides its brokerage customers access to many ETFs, including 70 iShares, that they can buy commission-free online,&rdquo; according to S&amp;P Capital IQ.
With new additions to the <a href="http:// http://www.benzinga.com/news/15/10/5926084/charles-schwab-continues-etf-ascent">Schwab ETF OneSource</a> commission-free ETF platform, &ldquo;investors can now buy and sell 214 ETFs covering 66 Morningstar Categories with $0 online commissions, no enrollment requirements and no early redemption fees &ndash; key differentiators for investors comparing Schwab ETF OneSource to other commission-free ETF offerings,&rdquo; said Schwab in a statement.

Brokerage Giants Expand In ETF Space

The cohesive plan laid out by leaders of Greece and key Eurozone heads of state was the primary catalyst for stocks continuing to march higher last week. Stocks continue to climb a wall of worry that underscores the resilience of this late-stage bull market, while a glimmer of hope has now been ignited in Europe.

	The week ahead features several key economic releases including the consumer price index, durable goods orders and testimony from Fed Chairwoman Janet Yellen to Congress.

	Here are the key ETFs to watch for the week of Monday, February 23:
<h3>
	iShares MSCI Japan ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ewj#NYSE">EWJ</a>)</h3>

	Japanese stocks rose to a new 52-week high on Friday and have been nearly vertical over the last six weeks. EWJ is the largest single-country focused ETF with $14.8 billion in total assets. This fund provide exposure to 311 large and mid-sized companies in Japan, the world&#39;s third-largest economy by nominal GDP.

	EWJ has risen 9.70 percent on a year-to-date basis as the Japanese yen currency has significantly stabilized from the drop it experienced last year.

<h3>
	United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ung#NYSE">UNG</a>)</h3>

	Natural gas prices experienced the same deflationary spiral as crude oil last year, but have been finding strength in recent weeks as cold weather sinks in to the Northeast. UNG tracks the daily spot price of natural gas futures, which are traded on the NYMEX exchange.

	The continuation of severe cold weather across a wide swath of the United States may help natural gas prices in the coming weeks. Traders should take note that UNG is nearing its 50-day moving average and has started to decouple from the weakness in crude oil futures, as well.
<h3>
	Fidelity NASDAQ Composite Index ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/oneq#NASDAQ">ONEQ</a>)</h3>

	The NASDAQ Composite is the last major stock index that has yet to break out above all-time highs after peaking in 2000 during the dot-com bubble. However, that moment may be close at hand, as this technology-dominated group of publicly traded companies is within 4 percent of that significant milestone.

	ONEQ is the only exchange-traded fund that tracks the NASDAQ Composite Index. This ETF contains more than 1,900 stocks across a multitude of sectors and market cap styles. Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/aapl#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) is the largest common equity holding in ONEQ with 10 percent of the total assets.

Japan, Natural Gas And NASDAQ Composite ETFs To Watch This Week

Consumers everywhere agree – price wars are the best wars on the planet.  The ETF trading commission price war makes ETF investors happy and their wallets a little thicker.  Fidelity today (2/16/11) announced the addition of five more iShares ETFs to its $0 commission lineup.  This brings the total quantity of commission-free ETFs for Fidelity's online customers to 31, consisting of Fidelity's own Nasdaq Composite Tracking Stock (<a class="ticker" href="/stock/oneq#">ONEQ</a>) and 30 iShares products.

<a href="http://investwithanedge.com/schwab-creates-watershed-event-with-commission-free-etfs" target="_blank">Schwab Creates Watershed Event with Commission-Free ETFs</a> on 11/3/09 by launching its first ETFs and introducing commission-free trading.  Schwab has since extended its lineup several times.

The <a href="http://investwithanedge.com/launch-of-ameritrade-etf-supermarket" target="_blank">Launch of Ameritrade's ETF Supermarket</a> on 10/8/10 was the most sweeping to date, including eight different sponsors and 101 ETFs and ETNs.
