Market Sentiment: The Fear & Greed Index has dropped into "Neutral" territory, reflecting mixed investor sentiment as the Nasdaq and S&P 500 experienced declines, while sectors like materials and consumer discretionary showed gains. Palantir's strong Q2 performance boosted its stock by 8%, positively impacting AI-themed ETFs.
ETF Strategies: Investors are shifting towards defensive ETF strategies amidst a neutral market, with funds like the Global X Defense Tech ETF and Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF gaining traction. This suggests opportunities for repositioning in sectors perceived as undervalued or more stable against tech volatility.
