Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ: SMCX)

에 대한 최신 뉴스 Defiance Daily Target 2X Long SMCI ETF (NASDAQ:SMCX)

The Fund is an actively managed exchange traded fund (ETF) that attempts to achieve two times (200 percent) the daily percentage change in the share price of the Underlying Security by entering into swap agreements on the Underlying Security. The Fund aims to achieve this daily percentage change for a single day, and not for any other period. A single day means the period from the close of regular trading on one trading day to the close on the next trading day. The Fund will enter into one or more swap agreements with financial institutions for a specified period, which may range from one day to longer than a year. Through each swap agreement, the Fund and the financial institution will agree to exchange the return (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on the Underlying Securitys share price. The gross return (meaning the return before deducting any fees or expenses) to be exchanged or swapped between the parties is calculated with respect to a notional amount, (meaning the face amount of the instrument) e.g., the return on or change in value of a particular dollar amount representing the Underlying Security. In the event the Fund is unable to achieve sufficient swap exposure, the Fund may not always achieve investment results, before fees and expenses, that correspond to two times (2x) the daily performance of the Underlying Security, and may return substantially less during such periods.

Mortgage rates are rising again — and that&#8217;s bad news for homebuyers and refinancers. But, it may be an exciting opportunity to make money for investors looking at mortgage-backed securities (MBS) ETFs. 
With the most recent figures indicating a big <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/reit/25/03/44396973/mortgage-applications-drop-as-rising-rates-squeeze-refinance-demand">decline in mortgage applications</a>, the conditions are ready for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">MBS ETFs </a>to pick up steam as yields increase and prepayment risks get diminished.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why MBS ETFs Stand To Gain</h1>
MBS ETFs are invested in mortgage-backed securities, which are home loan-backed debt securities. When housing rates rise, newly issued MBS gain more yield, which is desired by investors who want fixed-income exposure. 
At the same time, old MBS experience a deceleration in prepayments, as more homeowners choose not to refinance at higher rates.
There are some choice MBS ETFs that should profit through the prevailing conditions:
iShares MBS ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBB#NASDAQ">MBB</a>): One of the largest MBS ETFs, MBB primarily <a href="https://www.ishares.com/us/products/239465/ishares-mbs-etf">holds </a>agency-backed securities issued by Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and Ginnie Mae.
Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VMBS#NASDAQ">VMBS</a>): This ETF <a href="https://investor.vanguard.com/investment-products/etfs/profile/vmbs#overview">offers </a>exposure to high-quality, government-backed MBS with relatively low volatility.
SPDR Bloomberg Barclays Mortgage Backed Bond ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MBG#NYSE">MBG</a>): MBG <a href="https://www.ssga.com/us/en/intermediary/etfs/spdr-portfolio-mortgage-backed-bond-etf-spmb">provides </a>a diversified portfolio of investment-grade MBS.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Shake-Up In The Mortgage Market And Rising Rates</h1>
The average 30-year fixed mortgage rate increased to 6.72% for the week through March 14, reversing a nine-week slide, the Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) reported. The increase in this rate pushed refinancing applications down a substantial 13%, although purchase applications rose a mild 0.1%.
Investors are preparing for possible market movements after the Federal Open Market Committee&#8217;s decision on Wednesday<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44405112/tariff-inflation-may-be-transitory-powell-says-stocks-rally-bitcoin-clears-85000-as-bulls-return"> to hold rates at 4.25%-4.50%</a>. 
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">A Balancing Act</h1>
Though higher mortgage rates create headwinds for housing affordability and refinancing volume, they also offer fixed-income investors a chance. Higher yields and less prepayment risk potential make MBS ETFs an appealing option in this situation.
But it will be wise to stay guarded. The Fed&#8217;s policy orientation, inflation dynamics, and overall economic climate will be key in determining MBS performance. If rates keep on rising, MBS ETFs may face additional tailwinds. But if economic uncertainties force the Fed to shift gears in favor of rate cuts later this year, the picture will change once again.
For the time being, MBS ETFs are an attractive choice for investors seeking to take advantage of the changing interest rate landscape.

The Federal Reserve left interest rates unchanged at 4.25%-4.50% on Wednesday, with Chairman Jerome Powell reviving the term &#8220;transitory&#8221; to describe the potential inflationary <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/tariffs">effects of new tariffs.</a>
While the Fed still projects two rate cuts in 2025 in its latest dot plot, projections now reflect lower growth and higher inflation, fueling renewed concerns about stagflation.
Economists are increasingly skeptical of the Fed's confidence in inflation easing, with some warning of policy missteps and rising recession risks.
Here's a summary of key reactions from leading economists.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">‘Transitory' Is Back: A Risky Assumption</h3>
Allianz chief economic adviser Mohamed El-Erian criticized Powell's use of &#8220;transitory&#8221; to describe tariff-driven inflation, recalling the Fed's 2022 mistake when it downplayed persistent price pressures.
&#8220;It's simply too early to say with any degree of confidence that the inflationary effects will be transitory,&#8221; El-Erian said, adding that businesses and households &#8220;still have fresh in their minds the recent history of high unanticipated inflation.&#8221;
Given the uncertainties, he expected Fed officials to show &#8220;greater humility.&#8221;

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">The word — "transitory" — is back at the Federal Reserve as Chair Powell characterizes the price effects of tariffs as a one-off.

The Kobeissi Letter ridiculed Powell's response to stagflation concerns, recalling a past press conference where he dismissed the risk, saying he wasn't seeing the &#8220;stag&#8221; or the &#8220;flation.&#8221; Yet, that stance now appears contradictory, as the Fed's latest projections show slower GDP growth alongside rising inflation and unemployment.
&#8220;We are now seeing the &#8216;stag&#8217; and the &#8216;flation&#8217;.&#8221;

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Mixed Signals On Inflation And Growth</h3>
Jeffrey Roach, chief economist at LPL Financial, said the Fed&#8217;s decision was unsurprising, as policymakers are &#8220;in the midst of policy fog&#8221; while awaiting the impact of upcoming tariffs. 
He highlighted that despite upside risks in recent inflation data, core inflation should decelerate by summer, allowing the Fed to begin cutting rates in June.
Steve Wyett, chief investment strategist at BOK Financial, stressed the uncertainty arising from the Fed&#8217;s forecasts.
&#8220;The Fed remains as confused as the rest of us as to what the impact of policy changes will be,&#8221; he said. 
Charlie Ripley, senior investment strategist at Allianz Investment Management, highlighted the Fed's struggle to balance growth and inflation expectations.
&#8220;Growth appeared to be downgraded more than the uptick of inflation expectations, yet the pace of expected rate cuts remained the same,&#8221; he said, pointing to continued uncertainty around inflation. Yet, the Fed's decision to slow the run-off of its balance sheet in April provided &#8220;some consolation&#8221; for investors.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Recession Warnings Grow Louder</h3>
David Rosenberg, president of Rosenberg Research &amp; Associates Inc., indicates the Fed's updated unemployment forecast is a strong recession indicator. He noted that the Fed now sees unemployment rising to 4.4% by year-end, which historically signals an economic downturn.
&#8220;Back to 1948, that has never happened without an NBER-defined recession,&#8221; Rosenberg said, referring to the National Bureau of Economic Research, which officially declares U.S. recessions. 
He warned that if past trends hold, a recession could materialize as early as July, well before the Fed takes any significant action.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Is Powell Too Dovish?</h3>
Spencer Hakimian, founder of Tolou Capital Management, described Powell as &#8220;very dovish,&#8221; suggesting the Fed is either underestimating inflation risks or &#8220;hoping for a miracle.&#8221;
&#8220;They see higher inflation. But they&#8217;re projecting two more rate cuts,&#8221; he said, calling the approach a &#8220;heads I win, tails you lose&#8221; scenario. Despite his concerns, Hakimian remains bullish on risk assets, advising investors to stay &#8220;long a good amount of risk,&#8221; with 40-50% exposure.
<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reaction</h3>
Despite concerns from economists, Powell's remarks fueled a risk-on rally. 
The S&amp;P 500 index – as tracked by the SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPY#NYSE">SPY</a>) – closed 1.1% higher on Wednesday, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 jumped 1.4%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) surged past $85,000, and gold extended record highs, rising 0.5% to $3,050 per ounce.

Economists React To Powell: 'We Are Now Seeing The Stag And The Flation'

Shopify Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>) shares traded higher on Wednesday driven by overall market strength following the Federal Reserve&#8217;s decision to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/03/44403637/fed-holds-rates-while-growth-forecasts-slip-inflation-projections-rise">hold interest rates steady</a>.
What To Know: The Fed opted to hold the federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.50% at its Wednesday meeting, suggesting that the economy remains healthy enough to leave rates unchanged. 
The central bank's March statement highlighted that the economy continues to grow at a strong pace and the labor market remains solid, but inflation pressures are still present. The Fed also acknowledged increased uncertainty around the economic outlook, but took a less hawkish stance overall, which appears to have boosted broader markets.
The Fed&#8217;s latest economic projections were also a key factor contributing to market movement. GDP growth forecasts for 2025 were revised downward to 1.7%, from an earlier projection of 2.1%. 
At the same time, inflation expectations were raised. The core Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, was adjusted up to 2.7% for 2025, from the previous forecast of 2.5%. This shift in projections pointed to rising concerns about stagflation, which occurs when the economy experiences slow growth combined with high inflation.
Despite the inflation concerns, the Fed's outlook also included expectations for two interest rate cuts in both 2025 and 2026. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also downplayed recent surveys that have pointed to rising uncertainty among households and businesses. 
"We think our policy is in a good place," Powell said in a press conference Wednesday.
Shopify announced this week that it will voluntarily transfer its U.S. stock exchange listing from the New York Stock Exchange to the Nasdaq. The company&#8217;s shares will commence trading on the Nasdaq on March 31.
Price Action: Shopify shares closed Wednesday up 8.19% at $101.71, according to <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/pro/register/?utm_source=BZprocontent072624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">Benzinga Pro.</a>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">지난주 시장을 움직인 요인</h2>
트럼프 대통령의 무역 관세 보류와 일론 머스크의 정부효율부가 주도한 갑작스러운 지출 삭감으로 인해 투자자들의 불안감이 고조되고 있다. 2월 CPI 는 전년 동월 대비 2.8% 상승하여 컨센서스 2.9%보다 낮았지만, 이렇게 예상보다 완만한 인플레이션 수치에도 시장은 백악관의 정책 조치에 집착하고 있다.
트럼프는 EU가 미국산 위스키에 대한 50%의 관세를 인하하면 유럽산 와인에 200%의 관세를 부과하고 캐나다산 철강과 알루미늄에 대한 관세를 두 배로 올리겠다고 공언하며, 자동차 관세도 위협했다.
지난주 소비자 심리지수가 하락하고 장기 인플레이션 기대치가 1993년 이후 최고치를 기록했다. 경제 불확실성에 따라 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs/specialty-etfs/25/03/44335436/gold-etfs-shine-as-spot-price-tops-3000-during-safe-haven-demand" target="_blank" rel="noopener">금 가격은 온스당 3,000달러를 기록했으며</a> 지난 11주 중 10주 동안 상승했다.
지난 주말에는 정부 셧다운을 피할 수 있다는 확인과 새로운 무역 뉴스의 부재로 시장이 소폭 반등했다. 이번 주 연준 FOMC 회의에서는 금리동결이 예상되지만, 인플레이션이 지속되는 가운데 성장 둔화인 스태그플레이션에 대한 우려가 커지고 있다.
