## ETF Flow Briefing — Wednesday, 26 August 2026

---

1. Tape
US equities are essentially flat — SPY and QQQ barely moved — but the flow picture is ugly: mega-cap growth and semis are being systematically redeemed. International is worse, with EM, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan all printing all-time-low flow percentiles, while LatAm and ASEAN ex-Indonesia are the lone pockets of genuine buying interest. Sectors and thematics see relentless outflows from gold, miners, semis, and AI plays, with only US Industrials holding a constructive bid; fixed-income flows are bifurcated, with cash parked in SGOV at a 92nd-percentile pace while longer-duration bonds bleed.

---

2. Strongest Creations
- EWS (Singapore, p96): Tiny in dollar terms but the highest-ranked international flow on the board — likely driven by defensive yield-seeking into a hard-currency-pegged market as broader EM exits accelerate.
- MCHI (China, p81): Contrarian buying into China even as EEM/EWY/EWT see historic redemptions — tactical money rotating into the cheap domestic consumption story rather than the semis-heavy EM complex.
- SGOV (0–3M Treasury, p92): Classic risk-off cash parking; investors are pulling from equities and long bonds alike and stashing the proceeds in T-bills.

---

3. Heaviest Redemptions
- QQQ (p0): $63.4bn out over 20 days, the worst flow percentile in its history — an extraordinary de-grossing of Nasdaq exposure.
- GLD (p0): Nearly $19.3bn in redemptions despite RSI at 66; longs are locking profits after a presumably strong run — price strength masking structural selling.
- EWY (Korea, p0): $4.6bn out — the AI chip-cycle narrative is cracking for Samsung/SK Hynix proxies as memory cycle concerns bite.

---

4. Overbought / Oversold
- IBB (Biotech) RSI 70: At the overbought threshold despite heavy redemptions (p0) — momentum and flows diverge, a classic distribution signal.
- GDX (Gold Miners) RSI 70 & COPX (Copper Miners) RSI 70: Both overbought while suffering historic outflows; commodity-equity longs appear to be selling into price strength.

---

5. Theme of the Day
Semiconductor/AI complex-wide exit. QQQ (p0), SMH (p0), DRAM (p0), BOTZ (p0), ROBO (p0), EWY (p0), and EWT (p0) are all at the bottom of their respective flow histories simultaneously — a synchronized, cross-asset unwind of the AI-semis trade that spans US large-cap tech, sector ETFs, single-country chip proxies, and robotics thematics in a single session.

---

6. New ETF Launches
Several relevant filings this week:
Harbor ETF Trust registered shares of the Anthropic AI Lab Ecosystem ETF, Google DeepMind AI Lab Ecosystem ETF, Meta AI Ecosystem Lab ETF, OpenAI Lab Ecosystem ETF, and SpaceX AI Lab Ecosystem ETF
(filed Aug 7).
BlackRock filed to delay until September 10 the effectiveness of the iShares Future Robotics and Related Technologies Active ETF
registration.
Federated Hermes Total Return Bond ETF (FTRB) filed today (Aug 26) for a NYSE Arca launch, seeking total return via investment-grade US dollar fixed-income securities.

Tradr ETFs also launched three new leveraged single-stock semiconductor ETFs on Aug 11, including first-to-market funds on MRAM and SITM.

---

7. Watchlist
Watch whether IBB breaks above RSI 70 with conviction tomorrow — biotech is the one sector with momentum but facing historic redemptions (p0), and a confirmed overbought reversal there, combined with continued QQQ outflows, would signal the de-risking is broadening from semis/AI into the last standing growth pocket.
