VTI stock price movement has kept pace with NASDAQ gains, securing a 0.8% daily rise. Chart patterns suggest strong accumulation phases, a bullish indicator for portfolio managers relying on ETF core holdings for market exposure. U.S.-listed ETFs pulled in $138.1 billion in September, the strongest month of the year so far. That total easily surpassed August’s $119.3 billion and lifted year-to-date inflows to $930.7 billion, putting the industry on pace to cross the $1 trillion mark as soon as this month. That would set ETFs up to eventually eclipse last year’s record haul of $1.1 trillion. The reason for the underperformance is the combination of large and small cap stocks. The VTI stock price closed yesterday at $249.85 after a volatile session influenced by bond yield fluctuations. Traders tracking macroeconomic data expect Fed rate policy clarity to fuel another bullish leg, with cyclical sectors in VTI’s holdings gaining traction.
