HANetf's Hector McNeil discusses shifting investment focus beyond 'Magnificent Seven'

HANetf Holdings Limited

HANetf co-founder and co-CEO Hector McNeil suggests a strategic shift in investment from dominant tech stocks to broader tech themes. In an interview with Proactive's Stephen Gunnion, McNeil advocated diversifying away from the 'Magnificent Seven,' big tech firms, due to their high PE ratios and concentration risks. He highlights the potential of broader tech investments, particularly through ETFs that offer diversified exposure across various tech sub-sectors, including robotics, cybersecurity, and digital entertainment. McNeil emphasised the benefits of equal-weighted ETFs, such as the HAN-GINS Tech Megatrend Equal Weighted UCITS ETF (ITEK) which ensures no single stock dominates the index, providing a balanced investment approach. Additionally, he explored opportunities outside the traditional tech sector, particularly in emerging markets. McNeil underscored the growth potential in the e-commerce sector within these markets, driven by high growth rates and an absence of state-owned enterprises. He pointed out specific ETFs like the EMQQ Emerging Markets Internet & Ecommerce UCITS ETF (EMQQ), which focuses on major market e-commerce, and discussed the significant gains of companies like Pinduoduo and Tencent. McNeil also mentioned the Future Defense UCITS ETF (NATO), which has gained traction by capitalising on the rising importance of cybersecurity in global defence strategies.

Analyst's Bold SOL Forecast Grabs Headlines; KANG and DOGE Reign Supreme in the Meme Coin Space

Kangamoon

The crypto market was recently shaken after analyst Altcoin Sherpa made a bold Solana (SOL) price prediction. Meanwhile, KangaMoon (KANG) and Dogecoin (DOGE) are soaring in the meme coin space. In fact, numerous analysts claim that KANG, which is now in Stage 5 of its presale, could become the next 100x meme coin in 2024. Today, we find out why. Altcoin Sherpa: The Solana Price Could Surge to $500 Solana (SOL) has been showing some volatility in the market. CoinMarketCap data shows that the price of SOL fell from $154 to $133 on the one-week chart. In that time, the Solana market cap also moved between $68B and $59B. However, crypto analyst Altcoin Sherpa remains bullish. In his new tweet, he predicts SOL's growth to $500 this year. From a technical analysis standpoint, this prediction could come true. For example, the Solana coin trades above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. As a result, experts have made a bullish Solana price prediction - reaching $177 before the end of Q2 2024. KangaMoon (KANG): Among the Best Meme Coins To Buy As Solana steals all attention, other cryptos are still making headlines. KangaMoon (KANG) is one coin that has shone with its stellar presale performance. Notably, this meme coin has already raised over $6M and will reach $7M before May 2024 ends. There are now over 6K KANG holders and 20K registered community members. Evidently, global traders are interested in this meme coin since it will bring something new - utility. KANG will be the main in-game currency for KangaMoon's upcoming P2E game. With this meme coin, you can buy in-game items as well as upgrade characters. This utility immediately separates KANG from 99% of other meme coins, which are hype-driven only. Another aspect that makes KangaMoon different is its community-driven focus. For instance, KangaMoon rewards its most active community members with free KANG tokens before its launch. Thus, 20K members rush to like/share/comment on KangaMoon's social media posts and earn this meme coin for free. Early buyers of KANG have already experienced a 290% ROI as KANG costs $0.0196 in Stage 5 of its presale. But remember that KangaMoon has ties to the P2E gaming market, which may reach $885M by 2028. This means that KANG's long-term growth potential is outstanding. Experts foresee a 100x jump once this meme coin gets a Tier-1 CEX listing in Q2 of 2024. Analyst Kevin Makes a Bullish Dogecoin Price Prediction Meanwhile, Dogecoin (DOGE) is another meme coin that is seeing some bullish signs. For example, the Dogecoin volume has jumped 26% in the past week alone. In that period, the price of DOGE fluctuated between $0.15 and $0.13. Based on the historical performance, analyst Kevin predicts that this meme coin may soar to $3.80. The technical analysis for the Dogecoin crypto also shows bullish signals. For example, DOGE is trading above its 100 and 200-day EMAs. Thus, experts foresee a rise to $0.21 for Dogecoin within Q2 of 2024. Solana vs. KangaMoon vs. Dogecoin - Which One Rises First? In the battle between Solana, KangaMoon, and Dogecoin, the spotlight shines on KangaMoon. This is because KANG boasts a low market cap of $19.6M, hinting at its potential for explosive growth with fewer new funds needed for its price to skyrocket. If you want this meme coin, sign up for its presale and get a 10% bonus. Discover the Exciting Opportunities of the KangaMoon (KANG) Presale Today!

USITC Issues Affirmative Preliminary Determination in Trade Case Against Imports of Ferrosilicon from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia

U.S. Ferrosilicon Producers

The U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) preliminarily determined today that ferrosilicon imports from Brazil, Kazakhstan, Malaysia and Russia are causing material injury to the U.S. industry. All four Commissioners voted in the affirmative. The Commission’s unanimous vote comes in response to petitions filed on March 28 by CC Metals and Alloys, LLC (“CC Metals”) and Ferroglobe USA, Inc. (“Ferroglobe”), who together account for all American ferrosilicon production. The petitions allege that unfairly priced and subsidized ferrosilicon imports are injuring the U.S. industry and its workers. Ferrosilicon is a critical input used to produce steel and foundry products, making preservation of the American industry a matter closely related to significant national security priorities. “Producers in Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil are using predatory pricing practices to take market share from American producers. This distorts the market and puts American workers out of jobs,” said Marco Levi, Chief Executive Officer of Ferroglobe PLC. “Today’s vote is encouraging. It brings us one step closer to ensuring a level playing field.” On April 17, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) initiated eight antidumping (AD) and countervailing duty (CVD) investigations into imports of ferrosilicon from Russia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, and Brazil. "Today's vote validates the data in our petitions and questionnaires showing the serious harm inflicted by unfair imports," said Chris Cobb, Plant Manager of CC Metals and Alloys, Inc. " We applaud the USITC for taking this step toward restoring fair competition to the U.S. market and confidence to U.S. workers and consumers. We look forward to seeing our trade laws enforced.” Commerce is continuing its investigations and will make preliminary CVD determinations as early as June 2024 and AD determinations as early as September 2024. If the determinations are affirmative, provisional AD and CVD duties will be collected based on the preliminary margins calculated by Commerce and potentially applied retroactively. About the CC Metals and Ferroglobe CC Metals traces its roots back to 1949, when it was founded as a producer of large-volume commodity ferroalloys for the steel industry in Calvert City, Kentucky. Today CC Metals is an ISO 9001 certified leading manufacturer of more than 40 different products including 18 different ferrosilicons and more than 20 different magnesium ferrosilicon inoculants, high purity, 3%-9% magnesium and proprietary alloys. CC Metals ships over 100,000 metric tons of finished product annually from its manufacturing facility in Calvert City, KY via barge, rail and truck. Ferroglobe USA, Inc. is a wholly-owned U.S. subsidiary of Ferroglobe PLC, a world leading producer of silicon metal and ferroalloys, serving a customer base across the globe in dynamic and fast-growing end markets, such as solar, automotive, consumer products, construction and energy. Through its subsidiaries, Ferroglobe operates metallurgical manufacturing facilities and mining sites in Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio, South Carolina, and West Virginia.

Did the Next Crypto Bull Run Begin? BTC Price Tops $64K and ETH Rises Above $3K. Raboo ICO Brings in Over $1 mil

Total Media

Last week started with a bullish trend and the crypto-market saw significant price movements. The BTC price passed the $64,000 mark and the ETH price hit $3,100. Amid the excitement, Raboo, the new crypto sensation of the DeFi world, raised over $1 million in its ongoing presale and is quickly heading for a 100x surge after its ICO. Bitcoin (BTC): The BTC price is quickly recovering As the first and biggest cryptocurrency in the world, the Bitcoin (BTC) price acts as a proxy for the entire market. Consequently, the recent post-halving drop in the price of Bitcoin triggered a market-wide bearish trend, nudging investors to liquidate their positions in anticipation of new growth signals. These market behaviors stand as a testament to Bitcoin's relevance to the entire crypto ecosystem. The latest growth in the Bitcoin (BTC) price resulted in a rebound for the entire market, with most tokens showing a 10% growth over the last week. Additionally, experts believe that the Bitcoin price is going to hit $75,000 in the coming months as more and more institutional investors are injecting funds into the crypto markets. Ethereum (ETH): What will happen to the ETH price in the following months? As the first to introduce smart contracts in the Web3 world, Ethereum soon became the second most valuable cryptocurrency by market cap. This great surge may be attributed to the importance of Ethereum in the whole crypto ecosystem, from the DeFi sector to the NFT industry. Unfortunately, despite all the enthusiasm around the project, the Ethereum (ETH) price is still hovering around $3000. Experts suggest that this high-volatility period should be expected and that the future of Ethereum is still looking bright. The majority of these voices claim that Ethereum is probably going to reach the $5000 mark in the coming months and that wise investors should act upon this opportunity and get ready for the start of the next bull run. Raboo (RABT): The next rising star of the crypto world Raboo is a new AI meme coin that has amazed the market with its unique mix of advanced technology, SocialFi mechanics, and community-driven philosophy. Investors are offered a variety of features such as AI-generated memes, social media content monetization via Raboo's post-to-earn platform, and different exclusive advantages. Thanks to its innovative technology and robust ecosystem, Raboo successfully attracted over 5,000 members to its vibrant community. Thus, with a starting price of only $0.0042 and optimistic predictions of a 100x payday for early investors, it's not hard to see why Raboo is viewed as a golden opportunity by gem hunters worldwide. Conclusion As the market recovers back from last month's bearish trend, investors are watching the Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) prices for the start of the next bull run. This indicates a positive future for Raboo's presale, positioning the project as one of the best post-halving investments available for any gem hunter looking for their next 100x. Make sure you don't miss out on this golden opportunity! You can participate in the Raboo presale here. Contact Details Total Media Solutions media@Totalsolutionspr.io
