Dividend ETFs under pressure with oil, rates and AI trades splitting markets
NEW YORK - Retail money keeps landing in dividend ETFs, but the tape isn’t making it easy. SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust slipped 0.77% by 10:47 a.m. in New York. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF dropped 0.25%, Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF was down 0.40%, and JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF fell 0.60%. The real test now is less about yield screens and more about which income ETF can hang onto cash when oil, rates and equities drop at once.
