The SPDR S&amp;P 500 (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/spy#NYSE">SPY</a>) was falling about 0.25% lower Wednesday ahead of the Federal Reserve&rsquo;s decision on interest rates.
The central bank is widely expected to hold rates steady but investors will be focusing on Fed chair Jerome Powell&rsquo;s comments at the press conference following the decision for clues as to when the Fed may begin easing.
After the SPY ran about 27% higher between Oct. 27 and March 28, the ETF entered into a downtrend, retracing about 4.6% from the all-time high of $524.61. Whether or not downward pressure across major equities will continue through to the end of the second quarter remains to be seen but for at least the short term, from a technical analysis perspective, the market ETF is showing weakness, trading mostly sideways on lower-than-average volume.

The SPY Chart: After closing at the $495.16 level on April 19, the SPY has been trading mostly sideways near the $500 mark, within a slight uptrend pattern. The most recent higher high within the pattern was formed on Monday at $510.75 and the most recent confirmed lower low was printed at $497.49 on April 25.
<ul>
<li>On Tuesday, the SPY dropped 1.29% from its opening price and on Wednesday, the ETF was trading slightly lower on very low volume and working to print a small doji candlestick, which could indicate the next local low has occurred and a bounce will take place on Thursday.</li>
<li>For the uptrend to continue on the daily chart, the SPY will eventually need to close above the most recent higher high. If that fails to happen, the uptrend will be negated and another downtrend could be on the horizon.</li>
<li>If the SPY forms another higher high, the ETF will regain the 50-day simple moving average (SMA) as support, which would give bullish traders more confidence. If the SPY retraces significantly, it&rsquo;s likely to find support, at least temporarily, at the 200-day SMA.</li>
<li>The SPY has resistance above at $502.87 and at $510.13 and support below at $496.05 and at $491.42.<img alt="screenshot_592.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u278075/screenshot_592.png" style="height:354px; width:760px" /></li>

Dang Minh Tam, Alibaba Cloud&#8217;s solution architect lead, noted that the company uses colocation services from these state companies to store client data locally. It also maintains backups across its server farms in regions including Taiwan and Singapore.&nbsp;
The move is part of Alibaba&#8217;s strategy to ensure better security and control over its data and potentially reduce costs and liability issues associated with multi-company data management.&nbsp;
Companies including&nbsp;Nvidia Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>),&nbsp;Apple Inc&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), and&nbsp;Lam Research Corp&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LRCX#NASDAQ">LRCX</a>) have reached out to Vietnam to diversify their supply chain base amid heightening geopolitical tensions between the US and China.
Lam Research&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/03/37886908/lam-research-eyes-vietnam-to-diversify-supply-chain-away-from-china-report" rel="noreferrer noopener">weighed the supply chain shift</a>&nbsp;to Vietnam, with the Vietnamese government canvassing the former to commit $1 billion to local production efforts.
&nbsp;Apple&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/04/38460042/apple-strengthens-supply-chain-in-china-while-growing-presence-in-southeast-asia-and-india" rel="noreferrer noopener">suppliers in Vietnam</a>&nbsp;increased by 40% to 35 in 2023.
Meanwhile, Nvidia tapped&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/23/12/36171360/whats-going-on-with-nvidia-stock-monday" rel="noreferrer noopener">Vietnamese tech firms</a>&nbsp;for AI development.

<a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a>
Global X published a whitepaper in August about thematic investing. Specifically, the whitepaper found that <a href="https://www.globalxetfs.com/thematic-investing-whitepaper-new-consumer/">traditional sector indexes</a> have generally failed to provide exposure to the new consumer, people with far different attitudes than baby boomers. As a result, thematic ETFs have become popular with investors, especially younger ones.&nbsp;
Regarding current themes investors are exploring, artificial intelligence (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ai-stock-quote/">AI</a>) certainly gets the most media attention. However, new consumer segments, such as sports betting, have captured the attention of younger investors as well.&nbsp;
Global X indicates that the global online gambling industry is expected to grow significantly. In 2022, The global sports betting market was valued at $83.6 billion. By 2030, it&rsquo;s expected to grow to $180 billion with a compound annual growth rate of 10.3%.&nbsp;
To capture some of this growth, you can invest in a broad-market index to gain exposure to gambling businesses such as DraftKings (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dkng-stock-quote/">DKNG</a>). Or you can build a core portfolio of broad-market ETFs and tactically invest in specific thematic ETFs.&nbsp;If that&rsquo;s you, here are three thematic ETFs to buy with long growth runways.&nbsp;
<h2>Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (BOTZ)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/ai-stocks1600-5-300x169.png" alt="Conceptual background of artificial intelligence, humans and cyber-business on programming technology element, 3D illustration. Next trillion-dollar companies. top AI stocks billionaires buy" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: whiteMocca / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
The Global X Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/botz-stock-quote/">BOTZ</a>) has grown to $2.2 billion in net assets over its seven-year history. The fund tracks the performance of the Indxx Global Robotics &amp; Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index. Companies that generate a <a href="https://www.globalxetfs.com/content/files/BOTZ-IM.pdf">significant portion of their revenues from robotics and AI</a> are eligible for inclusion in the index.&nbsp;
Other criteria for inclusion include a minimum market cap of $300 million, listed in a developed market such as the U.S. or Germany, generating an average daily volume of $2 million or more, and a free float of at least 10%.
Nvidia (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nvda-stock-quote/">NVDA</a>) is the largest of <a href="https://www.globalxetfs.com/funds/botz/#documents">43 holdings</a> with a 14.72% weighting. Nvidia is a big reason BOTZ is up more than 26% year-to-date.&nbsp;I&rsquo;m also quite fond of its second and third-largest holdings: Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/isrg-stock-quote/">ISRG</a>) and ABB (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/abbny-stock-quote/">ABBNY</a>), with weightings of 9.69% and 8.28%, respectively.&nbsp;
The top three industries by weight are industrial machinery (24.1%), semiconductors (14.7%), and medical specialties (13.6%). The weighted average market cap is $176.2 billion.&nbsp;
BOTZ is the one if you&rsquo;re looking for a thematic ETF dominated by large-cap stocks.
<h2>VanEck Gaming ETF (BJK)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/dice-chance-gamble-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="A photo of 2 red dice rolling on a black mirrored background." width="300" height="169"><div>Source: 7th Sun / Shutterstock.com</div></div>
VanEck Gaming ETF (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bjk-stock-quote/">BJK</a>) was the first U.S.-listed ETF to focus on the global gaming industry. Launched in January 2008, <a href="https://www.vaneck.com/us/en/investments/gaming-etf-bjk/overview/">it tracks the performance</a> of the MVIS Global Gaming Index. To be eligible for inclusion in the index, a company must generate at least 50% of its revenue from gambling.
Unfortunately, gambling ETFs have yet to gain traction with investors, but with sports betting coming on, that may change.&nbsp;
In addition to generating more than 50% of their revenue from gambling, the companies in the index have market capitalizations of $150 million or greater, a three-month average daily volume of over $1 million, and a minimum monthly trading volume of 250,000 shares in each of the past six months.&nbsp;
A nice positive: BJK&rsquo;s one-year return of 19.8% is nearly double that of the S&amp;P 500.&nbsp;
The ETF has 42 holdings, with the top five accounting for 34% of the fund&rsquo;s $60 million net assets. It&rsquo;s been a while since the ETF&rsquo;s had a breakout quarter. Its best three-month period since inception was 34.9% in Q2 2009.
Of the top five, I like VICI Properties (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/vici-stock-quote/">VICI</a>) because it&rsquo;s more <a href="https://investorplace.com/2023/07/3-sp-500-stocks-to-own-for-the-next-50-years/">a real estate play</a> than a bet on gambling.
<h2>Roundhill S&amp;P Global Luxury ETF (LUXX)</h2>
<div><img src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/global-earth-connections-mapped-300x169.jpg" alt="Global network of map points" width="300" height="169"><div>Source: Blue Planet Studio/Shutterstock.com</div></div>
On Aug. 23, Roundhill launched the Roundhill S&amp;P Global Luxury ETF (NYSEARCA:LUXX), an ETF that <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/roundhill-investments-launches-global-luxury-etf-nyse-arca-luxx-301908063.html">tracks the performance</a> of the S&amp;P Global Luxury Index, a collection of 80 leading global luxury companies from Asia, Europe, and North America.&nbsp;&nbsp;
&ldquo;Luxury goods have shown resilience through challenging economic conditions, and we believe the sector has long-term growth potential,&rdquo; said Dave Mazza, Chief Strategy Officer at Roundhill Investments. &ldquo;We are excited to offer investors efficient, low cost access to gain access to the global luxury sector with the launch of LUXX.&rdquo;
As Roundhill stated in its press release, the global luxury market is expected to grow between 2022 and 2030 by 50% to $600 billion annually.&nbsp;
This isn&rsquo;t the first time a luxury-themed fund has hit the markets. In <a href="https://etfexpress.com/2007/08/09/claymore-securities-launches-global-luxury-etf/">August 2007</a>, Claymore Securities (now part of <a href="https://ir.blackrock.com/news-and-events/press-releases/press-releases-details/2012/BlackRock-Completes-Acquisition-of-Claymore-Investments/default.aspx#:~:text=(NYSE%3A%20BLK)%20today%20announced,operate%20under%20the%20BlackRock%20name.">BlackRock</a>) launched the Claymore/Robb Report Global Luxury Index ETF, which tracked the index of the same name. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/10/12/742312/list-of-49-etf-closures-for-2010">It closed in2010</a>.&nbsp; &nbsp;
However, as more billionaires and near-billionaires have been minted in the past decade, the luxury market has become more of a thing. The top 15 holdings are a who&rsquo;s who of luxury. My favorite luxury stock, LVMH (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/lvmuy-stock-quote/">LVMUY</a>), is the second-largest holding, weighted at 7.9%.
LUXX has 79 holdings and charges a reasonable 0.45%. It will be interesting to see if it can gain traction with investors.&nbsp;
