The firm said trading activity in QQQ fell in August, with shares traded down 18.39% month-over-month and notional value traded down 16.29% compared with July, even as net inflows pushed AUM higher.
Invesco’s report placed the month’s gains in the context of corporate earnings and macro events, citing stronger results from several index constituents and central-bank commentary that shaped market expectations.
