Industrial metal ETPs saw four consecutive weeks of inflows.
Crude oilETP outflows of US$29.3mn followed a 3.3% oil price rally last week.
Record inflows of US$56.3mn into robotic ETFs. Inflows into robotic ETFs rose to US$56.3mn, the highest weekly flow since their inception. Inflows into cybersecurity ETFs rose to US$15.9mn, the highest since June 2017. Robust inflows into these ETFs track a broader trend of strong performance in technology stocks (the S&P 500® Information Technology Index has risen 5.1% year-to-date for example). However, the increased of utilisation of automation and growing concerns about software security have piqued interest in this sub-class of technology in particular.
Industrial metal ETPs saw four consecutive weeks of inflows. Inflows into long broad industrial metal ETPs amounted to US$22.5mn (a three week high) and inflows into long copper ETPs amounted to US$14.9mn (a six week high). Global Manufacturing Purchasing Indices (PMIs) rose to a seven-year high at the end of 2017. The PMI survey indicates that demand for industrial metals will be strong in 2018 with growth of output, new orders and employment reaching levels last achieved in early- 2011. Last week’s China custom’s import data revealed that 2017 imports of copper ore and concentrate rose to an all-time high.
Long crude oil ETPs outflows of US$29.3mn followed a 3.3% oil price rally last week. Oil ETPs saw their 19th consecutive week of outflows. Investors appear to be taking profit on the most recent oil price rally. Oil prices touched US$70/bbl last week, up from US$56/bbl a year ago. Oil prices have received a tail-wind from falling crude oil inventories in the US, increased geopolitical tensions (in particular in Iran) and strong compliance by OPEC countries with their deal to curb production. However, looking beyond the headlines we see that gasoline inventories have risen (indicating that inventories have simply shifted from crude to product).
Geopolitical issues tend to wax and wane and so we doubt that the geopolitical premium will be persistent. US production of oil is likely to rise to an all-time high in 2018. Lastly with prices currently so strong, the incentive for OPEC countries to end their deal prematurely in June has increased. Although momentum may push oil prices back above US$70/bbl, we don’t think prices are sustainable at that level if fundamentals re-assert themselves over the coming month.
USD ETP shorts rose to a five week high. Rumours that the China will curb its purchases of US Treasuries (although never substantiated) spooked the market and led to a 1.5% depreciation in the dollar basket (DXY). There were US$6.6mn inflows into short US Dollar ETPs, mainly against the Euro. News that Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrat (CDU) party in Germany had reached a breakthrough with the Social Democrats (SPD) on Friday to form a coalition lent support to the Euro.

Americans can now allocate Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies within their 401(k) retirement plans, unlocking access to a $9 trillion market. Even a modest 5% allocation of contributions could generate $30–40 billion in annual inflows, building to $343 billion by 2035.

Ethereum’s summer surge is redefining the market
Ethereum is blazing a trail. With record active addresses, soaring ETF inflows, and growing corporate ETH purchases, the network keeps hitting milestone after milestone. As stablecoins surge under new US regulations, Ethereum’s position as the backbone of digital finance has never been stronger.
What is liquid staking, and why the SEC’s update matters for investors
The US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) recently ruled that certain liquid staking tokens are not securities. This is a major win for investors in the decentralized finance space, as historically, the SEC has often treated tokens as securities and claimed regulatory control over them.

Utdelningsavkastningen för IncomeShares ETP:er (börshandlade produkter) ändras varje månad, beroende på strategins resultat och marknadsförhållanden. Den här artikeln förklarar hur dessa avkastningar har förändrats hittills i år.
Vad är utdelningsavkastning?
IncomeShares ETP:er syftar till att tjäna månadsinkomster genom att sälja optioner på olika underliggande investeringar. När en ETP säljer en option betalar optionsköparen en ”premie” till ETP:n. Den premien är den inkomstkälla som ETP:n kan betala ut till investerare varje månad.
För att göra dessa utdelningar lättare att jämföra använder branschen ”årlig utdelningsavkastning”. Detta tar den senaste månatliga inkomstutbetalningen, multiplicerar den med 12 och dividerar den med ETP:ns nettotillgångsvärde (NAV) för den månaden.
Vi uttrycker resultatet som en procentandel med hjälp av formeln nedan:
Utdelningsavkastning (%) = (senaste månatliga utdelningsavkastning × 12) ÷ nuvarande NAV × 100
Eftersom formeln annualiserar endast en månads utbetalning kan utdelningsavkastningen variera kraftigt varje månad. Till exempel hade IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP en annualiserad utdelningsavkastning på 180,27 % i april 2025. Men i juli var den 39,86 %.
I det här exemplet berodde mycket av den avkastningsskillnaden på marknadsförhållandena. I april var SPY (ETP:ns underliggande investering) mer volatil än i juli. Högre volatilitet ökar vanligtvis efterfrågan på optioner, vilket höjer premierna – och därmed inkomstpotentialen för options-ETP:er.
Under de sju månaderna från januari till juli låg IncomeShares S&P 500 Options ETP i genomsnitt på 82,36 %.
Hur har IncomeShares utdelningsavkastning förändrats under 2025?
IncomeShares erbjuder för närvarande 19 ETP:er som syftar till att generera månatlig inkomst genom att sälja optioner på enskilda aktier, amerikanska aktiemarknadsindex, råvaror och amerikanska statsobligationer.
Av dessa 19 ETP:er har elva handlats under hela 2025. Tabellen nedan visar de årliga utdelningsavkastningarna som rapporterats varje månad i år (januari till juli) för dessa ursprungliga elva ETP:er:
De återstående åtta ETP:erna lanserades i slutet av juni – så de har bara en hel månad med utdelningar hittills (juli):
