SPLG in Focus

iShares Core S&P 500 ETF tracks the S&P 500 Index with key holdings in the information technology, financials and consumer discretionary spaces that account for a double-digit allocation each. The ETF charges 2 bps in annual fees (see: all the Large-Cap Blend ETFs here).

Why the Move?

The large-cap corner of the broad investing world has been an area to watch lately, given that the S&P 500 Index hit a new milestone of 6,400 for the first time ever. Optimism about rate cuts and an AI frenzy are driving stocks to new highs. Traders are now pricing in a more than 90% probability of a Fed cut in September, with odds for additional cuts in October and December also climbing.

More Gains Ahead? 

Currently, SPLG has a Zacks ETF Rank #1 (Strong Buy), suggesting that the outperformance could continue in the months ahead. Many sectors that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
