Blue Origin Launch and SpaceX IPO Hype Set Stage for Tema Space ETF Activity

U.S. stock markets stayed closed over the weekend, so the Tema Space Innovators ETF was left to absorb Friday’s drop after a Blue Origin rocket explosion pressured space stocks and weighed on SpaceX IPO bets. NASA ended Friday at $40.17, off 3.97% for the day. Still, the ETF finished up roughly 3.6% from the May 22 close at $38.76, after markets saw a short four-session week with the Memorial Day holiday.
