Soybean Fund Falls 1%, Real Estate ETF Leads US Asset-Class ETF Declines

The dispersion is the story: real assets and small caps softened while tech and gold firmed, a split that says less about broad risk appetite than about where money is choosing to sit.

Whether that gold-and-Nasdaq bid persists alongside softer real-asset pricing is the open question, since the two don't usually move together without a rates or inflation signal behind them.
