Assets Move to Industrials, Away From Energy as Flows Shift
The Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI) added a solid $1 billion of net inflows on Tuesday, according to data provided by FactSet. The sector ETF was second only to the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), which garnered a whopping $2.9 billion of flows. The iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) took the third spot with a respectable $542.7 million gain, the First Trust Value Line Dividend Index Fund (FVD) followed with $453.3 million added, and the Schwab US TIPS ETF (SCHP) rounded out the top five with inflows of $347.3 million. A few leveraged ETFs also made the creations list, including the Direxion Daily S&P 500 Bull 3x Shares (SPXL) and the GraniteShares 2x Long PLTR Daily ETF (PTIR), which brought in $328 million and $243.4 million, respectively. On the redemptions side, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO)—the world's largest ETF—saw $1.8 billion exit, and the tech-heavy Invesco QQQ Trust Series I (QQQ) gave up $1.2 billion. The Vanguard Mid-Cap ETF (VO) also saw notable redemptions of $1.1 billion. The only sector ETF that made the redemptions list was the Energy Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLE), which experienced outflows of $658 million as crude oil prices continued to cool following President Donald Trump's Monday night announcement that Israel and Iran had agreed to a cease-fire. Overall, ETFs added $2.5 billion of net inflows on Tuesday.

Best-Performing Dividend ETFs of 1H
The first half of 2025 has witnessed massive market turbulence, largely driven by the new Trump administration's aggressive trade policies. After hitting a record high on Feb. 19, the S&P 500 tumbled sharply, nearing bear market territory by April 8. However, markets rebounded strongly in recent weeks. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust SPY has gained about 1.7% in the first half, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF Trust DIA has lost about 0.5%, the Nasdaq-100 ETF Invesco QQQ Trust, Series 1 QQQ has added about 3.3% and iShares Russell 2000 ETF IWM has retreated about 5.3% (as of June 20, 2025). The U.S. long-term bond market faced pressure in the early phase of 1H, along with equities. Fears of China's treasury selling, inflation risks amid trade war, chances of a less-dovish Fed, and basis trade unwind hit the bond market in early April (read: ETFs to Play Amid Long-Term Yields' Best Week Since 1982). Moody's has also downgraded the U.S. sovereign credit rating by one notch, citing concerns over the country's ballooning $36-trillion debt burden. This move, following similar actions by Fitch in 2023 and S&P in 2011, raised alarm among investors about the nation's long-term fiscal sustainability (read: ETF Strategies to Follow on Moody's Downgrade of U.S. Debt). The market bottomed on April 8, but optimism over trade negotiations, strong corporate earnings, easing inflation and AI momentum triggered a sharp rebound. Technology stocks, especially the "Magnificent Seven," led the rally, making it the fastest S&P 500 recovery since 1982 (read: S&P 500 Turns Green in 2025: ETFs to Buy on Upbeat Prospects). Economic data reflects a stable growth outlook. Consumer sentiment rose in June for the first time in six months, indicating easing concerns over inflation and tariffs. The job market remained strong, with 139,000 new jobs added in May and unemployment steady at 4.2%. Inflation trends continue to improve. May's Consumer Price Index rose just 0.1% year over year, bringing the annual rate to 2.4%. Core inflation remained flat at 2.8%, with monthly core prices rising only 0.1%, undercutting expectations. Despite recent optimism, investor sentiment remains fragile. The Israel-Iran conflict reignited geopolitical fears, and uncertainty around Trump's trade direction and interest rate policy continues to rattle markets. In late June, the United States also attacked Iran's nuclear infrastructure, triggering fears of large-scale unrest in the Middle East. Defensive assets like gold and silver have seen renewed interest amid this backdrop. SPDR Gold Trust GLD has surged 26.4% so far this year (as of June 20, 2025), while iShares Silver Trust SLV has advanced 21.5%. However, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Israel and Iran on June 23. The fragile ceasefire between Israel and Iran has appeared to hold, at the time of writing. In such a volatile market, dividend ETFs normally come to the rescue. The hunt for dividends in the equity market is always on, irrespective of how it is behaving. If investors are mired in a web of equity market uncertainty, global growth worries and geopolitical crisis, the lure for dividend investing increases further. Note that SPDR S&P Dividend ETF SDY (up 2%) topped SPY so far this year (as of June 20, 2025). Investors should note that not all dividend stocks serve the same purpose. While the high-yield ones are known for offering hefty current income, stocks with dividend growth point to quality investing, a prerequisite to making money in this volatile environment. Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few of the dividend ETFs that have topped the S&P 500 so far this year (as of June 20, 2025). International dividend ETFs showed strength this time around.

S&P 500 surges on Middle East update, near record highs
S&P 500 surges on Middle East update, near record highs originally appeared on TheStreet. Didn't see that coming? You're likely not alone. A year of tariff tussles capped off with bombs flying in the Middle East probably had most worried about their stock market portfolios. Yet, despite the chaos, the S&P 500 has continued an epic run since it got oversold in early April following President Trump announcing tougher-than-thought tariffs on global trade SPDR S&P 500 ETF () has now marched more than 22.6% higher since President Trump paused implementing most reciprocal tariffs on April 9 for 90 days. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite has performed even better, rallying 30.4%. The S&P 500 is now only 1.1% below an all-time high. The Invesco Nasdaq 100 Trust () , which comprises the biggest stocks in the Nasdaq, including Nvidia, is within 0.20% of an all-time high. I bet you didn't have that on your bingo card. Especially, last week, when worry mounted that the stock market's run would falter under the weight of rising geopolitical worry after Israel attacked Iran, prompting daily missile fires between the two countries. The potential for the conflict to spread sent oil prices surging, and concerns seemed well-founded when the U.S. announced on June 22 it had dropped bunker busters on Iran's Fordow nuclear the stock market largely looked beyond the concerns as big money investors made bets that the war would be measured in days not years. The S&P 500 retreated just 0.46% last week, while the Nasdaq 100 was essentially flat. On Monday, when markets opened after the U.S. bombing, stocks found their footing, surging on hopes for a ceasefire. The gains continued on June 24, as investors increasingly became comfortable with tensions de-escalating. The S&P 500 gained 1.1% on June 24 while the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.4% on the session. Initially, it appeared that tempers would overcome peace, given Iran and Israel both launched additional missiles after President Trump's ceasefire announcement. Those actions sparked a sharp rebuke from President Trump, who laid into both countries before boarding Marine One on the White House lawn. "I'm not happy with Israel...I'm not happy with Iran... We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long, so hard, that they don't know what the f--- they're doing," said Trump. The two sides seemed to move closer to a ceasefire as the day progressed. On Polymarket, bets currently suggest only a 4% chance that the important Strait of Hormuz, which handles 20% of global oil supply, would close before July. Similarly, Polymarket's data indicates less than a 1% chance that the U.S. declares war on Iran, and a 6% chance of another U.S. attack on Iran before the month's end. On June 23, veteran analyst Tom Lee suggested that the risks associated with geopolitical conflict may be priced in, setting the stage for more upside. Ambarella () was among the biggest gainers, rising 21% on takeover chatter. Coinbase () rallied 12% in the wake of stablecoin legislation.S&P 500 surges on Middle East update, near record highs first appeared on TheStreet on Jun 24, 2025 This story was originally reported by TheStreet on Jun 24, 2025, where it first appeared.

2 Reasons Robert Kiyosaki's Advice Won't Work for Gen Z — and 2 Reasons It Will
Investor and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki may have initially made his claim to fame authoring the much-talked-about 'Rich Dad Poor Dad' in the 1990s, but he has continually offered financial advice in the intervening years, taking on topics related to investment, starting a business, getting cash flow rolling and avoiding bad debt. I'm a Financial Advisor: Check Out: Much of his advice is reflective of his personal position, and while many of his fiscal philosophies might be relevant to younger Americans, others miss the mark. Which pieces of Kiyosaki's advice should members of Gen Z take to heart — and conversely, which tips might be best left undisturbed? Kiyosaki frequently refers to stock market crash events as incentive to hold physical assets instead. In a March 9 post shared to X, he referred to gold and silver ETFs as fake — and Wall Street as a whole reliant on 'stupid' investors. While zoomers may not have years of experience in stock trading to bolster their Wall Street bets, it's still largely considered a wise move to buy blue-chip ETFs, particularly if you are young and have time to allow those investments to grow. Yet, investors holding the benchmark SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust would have nearly doubled their money if they'd bought in five years ago, with the ETF comprised of a portfolio attached to all 500 companies on the index. That ETF has returned 96.25% profit over the course of the past five years. Explore More: Kiyosaki frequently muses about the strategic value of holding bullion, whether physical silver or gold. In a June 5 post shared to X, the financial guru advised his audience to stock up on silver more particularly. 'For years I have been recommending buying gold, silver, Bitcoin. Silver hit $35 an ounce. I believe silver is the best bargain today. I believe silver will 2X…possibly $70 this year,' he wrote. Silver is an affordable metal to buy, with a current spot price of just over $36 per troy ounce as of June 23. In June of 2024, that figure rested at about $30, reflecting a 20% gain. As Curvo noted, silver has produced an average return of 16% over the past five years, or a more modest 6.9% return over the last decade. With silver being easy to attain, difficult to spend on an impulse buy, and a reliable hedge against inflation, it could make sense for zoomers to buy in. Bitcoin is also a fractional buying opportunity, but innately riskier. In a May 30 post shared on Instagram, Kiyosaki made it clear that playing it safe by saving money was a fool's errand. He advised, among other things, purchasing real estate as an investment to generate cash flow. The issue with this: As per a 2024 CNBC report, nearly a third (31%) of Gen Zers still live with their parents, as they can't afford rent — let alone a down payment and a mortgage in an overheated housing market. However, less than two weeks earlier, on May 20, Kiyosaki shared a post to Instagram which dispensed some sage advice for younger would-be wealth creators. 'While most kids are told to 'get a good job,' the rich teach their kids to build cash-flowing assets, understand debt and taxes, and create income that doesn't depend on a boss,' he wrote. 'Wealth isn't just earned — it's taught. And if you want to build generational wealth, you have to start early — and start thinking differently,' he added.

This Reliable Dividend Stock Is Up Over 8,851% Since Its IPO. Here's Why It's a Buy Now.
Most years, a majority of professional money managers fail to outperform the S&P 500 index. Since its stock market debut in 1994, Realty Income has more than quadrupled the market with an 8,851% total return. At recent prices, Realty Income offers a 5.6% dividend yield. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Enormous sums of money flowing through Wall Street banks have been attracting the world's most talented financial minds for generations. You might be shocked to learn that in any given year, most fail to outperform the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) index. Last year, a little over one-fifth of actively managed U.S. funds outperformed the benchmark, and that figure gets much slimmer over time. Over the past 20 years, absolute returns from all but 8% of all large-cap funds in the U.S. underperformed the benchmark. The average American fund manager can't hold a candle to the S&P 500 index, but there's a reliable dividend stock that has outperformed the benchmark by a mile. Since its initial public offering (IPO) in 1994, Realty Income (NYSE: O) stock has risen a little faster than the S&P 500 index. If we add up monthly dividend payments that have risen every quarter since its IPO, Realty Income has trounced the benchmark with an 8,780% total return. Folks who invested $1,000 into the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust at the time of Realty Income's IPO and kept the dividends have seen their investment grow past $22,000. The benchmark index has produced magnificent gains, but it can't hold a candle to Realty Income's long-term returns. Folks who invested $1,000 in Realty Income in 1994 are already halfway toward a down payment on a starter home in California. Realty Income is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that finished March with 15,627 commercial properties in its portfolio. Instead of managing its properties, it has tenants such as Tractor Supply and Home Depot sign net leases that make them responsible for taxes, maintenance, and any other variable costs associated with building ownership. Realty Income's weighted average remaining lease term is over nine years, and investors can look forward to this REIT recapturing those tenants and raising their rent further when their existing leases expire. Since 1996, the company has released about 6,000 properties at a renewal recapture rate of 103%. With annual rent escalators written into long-term leases and an impressive lease renewal recapture rate, Realty Income's cash flows are highly predictable. Recently, the company raised its monthly dividend for the 131st time to $0.269 per share. Despite steadily raising its payout for over 30 years, the well-managed REIT earns enough to raise it much further. Management posted first-quarter adjusted funds from operations (FFO), a proxy for earnings used to evaluate REITs, that rose to $1.06 per share. That's more than it needs to comfortably meet a dividend commitment currently set at $0.807 per quarter. The bond rating agencies adore Realty Income's portfolio of over 15,000 buildings and its track record for steadily growing earnings that goes back to 1970. An A3 rating from Moody's and an A- rating from S&P Global recently helped the company borrow 1.3 billion worth of euros with terms that will make your head spin. The notes it sold don't need to be repaid for about eight years on average, and the average yield to maturity is just 3.69%. Access to heaps of super-cheap capital is an advantage that Realty Income's smaller peers aren't likely to duplicate next year or in the next decade. This means it can offer competitive terms and continue attracting the best tenants for the long run. Even after 55 years in business, the vast majority of commercial buildings are still owned by the companies that operate them. In the U.S., less than 4% of the addressable market for net lease REITs was owned by Realty Income and its publicly traded peers. This figure is less than 0.1% in the E.U. With a favorable competitive position that shouldn't be too difficult to maintain, and a huge addressable market, Realty Income could continue raising its dividend payout every three months for another 30 years. The yield it offers is already a juicy 5.6% at recent prices. Adding some shares of this reliable dividend payer to a diverse portfolio looks like a smart move for just about any investor right now.
