Two Measures of Inflation: June 2026 | ETF Trends (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Inflation remains a hot topic, directly impacting everything from your grocery bill to interest rates. As of the latest data, two key inflation gauges — the Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) Price Index and the Consumer Price Index (CPI) — show that prices are still above the Federal Reserve’s 2% target, with the core PCE at 3.3% and core CPI at 2.6%. The Fed is on record as using PCE data as its primary inflation gauge, with a 2% target rate. Elsewhere, the Fed has stressed the importance
Covered Call ETFs 2.0: Smarter Income, Better Outcomes (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Following historic inflows, momentum in the covered call ETF market continues unabated. Yet first-generation buy-write products were often viewed somewhat narrowly as high-yield income vehicles built on sacrificing equity upside for immediate cash flow.

Year-to-date net inflows have swelled beyond $10 billion — crystallizing the asset class’s growing prominence in core fixed income allocations. Even with recent SOFR compression pulling 30-day SEC yields down from 2023–2024 peak levels, today’s AAA CLO ETFs sti
Derivative ETFs: Monetizing Market Uncertainty | ETF Trends (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Major benchmarks might be hovering near record highs, but narrowing breadth and renewed rate fears have capped investor conviction. Polling from VettaFi’s latest Midyear Market Outlook Symposium reflects a stark split among the bulls, the bears, and advisors preferring to wait out the macro crosscurrents before deploying fresh capital. Simultaneously, geopolitical conflicts and debate over AI capex spending have pushed volatility to two-year highs, keeping options premiums exceptionally rich. Su
