Wall Street is set to wrap up one of the strongest monthly advances so far in 2025, fueled by optimism surrounding global trade and easing fears over tariffs. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite Index closed at an all-time high Friday, another milestone in the stock market’s remarkable recovery from a springtime plunge caused by fears that the Trump administration’s trade policies could harm the economy.
With just a day left to close the month, the S&P 500 has climbed 4.4%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq rose nearly 6%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average has also rallied 3.7% (read: S&P 500 ETFs to Tap as Market Optimism Builds Up?).
We have highlighted five top-performing ETFs from different industries that led the market higher in June. These are ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK - Free Report) , Valkyrie Bitcoin Miners ETF (WGMI - Free Report) , Global X Hydrogen ETF (HYDR - Free Report) , Global X Uranium ETF (URA - Free Report) and Xtrackers Semiconductor Select Equity ETF (CHPS - Free Report) .
Behind the Strong Rally
The market’s swift recovery this month reflects a renewed wave of investor optimism. The “Magnificent Seven” (Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Meta and Tesla) regained lost ground, collectively adding $4.7 trillion in market cap since April. Additionally, the Fed kept interest rates steady at 4.25-4.50% on June 18, with more dovish signals from board members, fueling speculation of a cut as early as July.
Further, markets shrugged off geopolitical risks. Fears that the Israel-Iran conflict could disrupt global oil supply have subsided following a ceasefire. U.S.-Canada trade tensions eased as Canada removed a digital-services tax, resuming negotiations.
However, uncertainty still looms. A pause on retaliatory tariffs affecting a broad group of nations is set to expire in July. Failure to reach agreements can trigger a new round of tariffs, threatening market sentiment and consumer confidence.
