Commentary

Here is the briefing for Tuesday, 04 August 2026:

---

## ETF Flow Briefing — 04 August 2026

---

1. Tape
Risk-on dominated US equities, with mega-cap tech surging (QQQ +3.4%, SMH +5.6%), while defensives and gold lagged. International flows were sharply bifurcated — chip-nation Asia (Korea, Taiwan) drew maximum conviction buying, whereas LatAm and China saw continued exits; fixed income attracted broad bond inflows, consistent with investors parking dry powder alongside — not instead of — equity risk.

---

2. Strongest Creations

- EWY (Korea, p100) +$5.4B & EWT (Taiwan, p100) +$1.1B:
EWY is up 103% YTD and EWT is up 67%
, and the money is still piling in at maximum-percentile pace. The chip-nation thesis has momentum and institutional backing.
- SMH (Semis, p100) +$14.2B: Largest single creation in the dataset.
"The backdrop for semiconductors remains supportive as hyperscalers continue to spend heavily on AI infrastructure and demand stays firm across compute, memory and networking enablers."

- QQQ (Nasdaq 100, p99) +$16.5B: Mega-cap tech flows hit 99th percentile alongside a +3.4% session — institutions are leaning into the move, not fading it.

---

3. Heaviest Redemptions

- GLD (Gold, p1) -$4.9B: Gold is up on the day (+0.66%) but 20-day flows sit at the 1st percentile — a sustained structural rotation out of gold as risk appetite dominates.
- MCHI (China, p2) -$529M: China dramatically underperformed (+0.34% vs Korea's +6.8%) and flows confirm the
ongoing investor concern around "regulatory unpredictability, tensions over Taiwan, and questions about whether Chinese growth will translate into shareholder returns."

- EWS/EIDO/EWZ (Singapore p1, Indonesia p5, Brazil p5): Smaller EM markets outside the chip-nation corridor are being quietly liquidated, consistent with targeted rather than broad EM buying.

---

4. Overbought / Oversold

- Overbought (RSI ≥ 70): SHLD (Defense Tech, RSI 70) and KWEB (China Internet, RSI 70) are both at the overbought threshold — notable because both are simultaneously seeing heavy redemptions (p0 and p4 respectively), a classic divergence warning.
- Oversold (RSI ≤ 30): None in dataset. XLU (Utilities, RSI 38) is approaching oversold; sector is down on the day amid the risk-on rotation.

---

5. Theme of the Day
The AI Chip-Nation Sweep. Semis, Korea, Taiwan, QQQ, robotics (BOTZ p96, ROBO p93), and lithium (LIT p93) all printing top-decile creations simultaneously while clean energy (ICLN p99) joins the power-demand angle.
The AI infrastructure story started with chips, but the actual bottleneck is electricity
— and today's flows reflect investors buying the entire stack from silicon to power source.

---

6. New ETF Launches

Five AI and semiconductor themed ETFs listed simultaneously on South Korea's KOSPI today (August 4), including Samsung Asset Management's KODEX US CPU Semiconductor TOP10, Hanwha's PLUS SK Hynix SanDisk Bond Blend 50, and DB Asset Management's MIGHTY AI Data Center Value Chain, plus two active ETFs.
On the US side,
Defiance filed for a Robotics Actuators ETF
(pending effectiveness), and
BlackRock filed for an iShares Future Robotics and Related Technologies Active ETF.

---

7. Watchlist
Watch KWEB tomorrow: RSI at overbought 70 with 20-day flows at the 4th percentile is a tug-of-war between price momentum and persistent institutional selling. A sustained China headline — positive or negative — could resolve this divergence sharply in either direction.
