VanEck China Bond ETF Price & Performance (CBON)

Velcan Holdings has liquidated all gold and silver-related investments, including the VanEck Gold Miners ETF, by March 2025. This move resulted in a final gain of €9.2 million, capitalizing on a multi-year rally. The group now plans to further diversify its portfolio, emphasizing Japanese and emerging market assets.1

Markets have faced heightened volatility as new U.S. tariffs on China triggered a sharp sell-off, pushing major ETFs like VOO and SPY into bear territory. Investors responded by trading $850 million in buffer ETFs to hedge risk, reflecting widespread uncertainty and a defensive stance in the face of ongoing trade tensions.2

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) climbed 1.9% even as most equity and bond ETFs declined amid tariff-related market turmoil. While semiconductors remain largely exempt from direct tariffs, demand concerns persist due to taxes on end products. The sector’s relative resilience highlights nuanced impacts of trade policy on technology stocks.34
