Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF Sees Inflows Amid Weekly Decline The Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (VTI) experienced a 2.77% decline over the past week but recorded a net inflow of $3.66 billion over five days. This movement is attributed to shifting market sentiment toward some of the ETF’s major holdings. Despite the overall drop, investor confidence in certain underlying stocks has driven capital inflows. Nvidia Corporation’s shares fell approximately 3.8% during the week, even as the company hosted its GTC 2026 event. CEO Jensen Huang outlined plans for $1 trillion in revenue from upcoming Blackwell and Rubin chips by 2027. Analysts at Wolfe Research noted the stock’s pullback as an opportunity, citing potential earnings per share (EPS) of up to $14 and a valuation of around 13 times bull-case earnings. Wall Street targets suggest more than 50% upside for the stock. However, Nvidia faces two controversies: a U.S. export-control case involving alleged smuggling of AI servers to China and an antitrust review of a $20 billion deal with Groq. While Nvidia denies wrongdoing and asserts Groq’s independence, regulators express concerns about its growing influence in AI hardware and competition. Apple Inc. saw renewed momentum as iPhone 17 sales in China surged 23% in the first nine weeks of the year, outperforming the broader market’s 4% decline. During a high-profile visit to commemorate Apple’s 50th anniversary, CEO Tim Cook emphasized China’s strategic importance. The company also reduced App Store commissions on the mainland to 12% for smaller developers, absorbing margin pressure instead of raising iPhone prices. While App Store revenue growth slowed to about 7% quarter-to-date, gains in China offset softness in the U.S. and Japan.#jensen_huang #apple_inc #vanguard_total_stock_market_etf #nvidia_corporation #gtx_2026
