Among the largest underlying components of the iShares Core MSCI EAFE ETF, Spotify Technology and Sea experienced notable declines. Spotify Technology was down approximately 0.3%, while Sea fell by about 1.1% in morning trading today [1].
The Direxion Daily AI and Big Data Bear 2X Shares, which focuses on the artificial intelligence and big data sectors, had the most significant increase in inflows. The ETF added 50,000 units, representing a 40.0% increase in outstanding units [1].
In related news, Spotify Technology is expected to continue raising prices for its subscriptions as it aims to reach 1 billion users globally. The company has already started increasing prices in select markets, with the latest hikes announced in June [2]. Spotify's strategy appears to be effective, with the company reporting a 12% year-over-year increase in subscribers and a 11% rise in monthly active users [2].
