This Week’s Market Forecast… 📊
IN PARTNERSHIP WITH NEOS INVESTMENTS
Seeking Monthly Income During Volatility?
Perhaps it’s time to consider covered call ETFs – a market segment that’s become increasingly popular with those who desire steady income in their portfolios.
NEOS ETFs seek monthly income, tax efficiency, and the potential for upside capture in rising markets for their investors. NEOS has set out to enhance investment portfolios with the next evolution of options-based income solutions.
NEOS ETFs serve as a compelling income-focused alternative or complement to many of the core holdings already in investor portfolios. Investment categories include the S&P 500, Nasdaq-100, Russell 2000, Bitcoin, Bonds, Treasuries, Real Estate, and more. Their diversified ETF suite includes:
SPYI – S&P 500 High Income ETF
QQQI – Nasdaq-100 High Income ETF
IWMI – Russell 2000 High Income ETF
BTCI – Bitcoin High Income ETF
CSHI – Enhanced Income 1-3 Month T-Bill ETF
BNDI – Enhanced Income Aggregate Bond ETF
IYRI – Real Estate High Income ETF
If volatile market conditions leave you desiring passive income in your portfolio, consider learning more about NEOS ETFs at neosfunds.com.

This week, investor attention shifts to the heart of the U.S. economy: the consumer. Retail earnings are front and center, offering a fresh read on how spending habits are holding up amid persistent conversations around inflation and tariffs. Last week, Walmart gave us an early look, and now we’ll hear from TJ Maxx, Target, Home Depot, and Lowe’s.
TJ Maxx and Target, in particular, will be closely watched. Both serve as bellwethers for consumer behavior, especially in the face of pricing pressures and shifting demand. On the earnings calls, expect analysts and investors to dig into any commentary around pricing, especially after Walmart hinted at potential increases tied to tariffs. Will others follow suit?
It was a strong week for markets. With tariff-related tensions cooling, optimism has returned. We saw a finalized deal with the UK, a pause in talks with China, and a series of other potential agreements making headlines, all fueling bullish sentiment.
Inflation also surprised to the downside last week, challenging the prevailing narrative. While many economists still expect inflation to pick up in the coming months, I believe we’re more likely to see one-off price increases in specific sectors rather than broad, sustained inflation.
With earnings season in full swing and momentum on our side, I remain bullish. If current trends hold, I believe we could see new all-time highs in the coming days.
My advice? Focus on the positive and keep an optimistic outlook.

Disclaimers:
Investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) before investing. To obtain an ETF's prospectus containing this and other important information, please call (866)498-5677 or view/download a prospectus here: SPYI | QQQI | | CSHI | BNDI | IWMI | BTCI | IYRI. Please read the prospectus carefully before you invest.
An investment in NEOS ETFs involves risk, including possible loss of principal. The equity securities purchased by the Funds may involve large price swings and potential for loss.
The use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. Derivative prices are highly volatile and may fluctuate substantially during a short period of time. The use of leverage by the Fund, such as borrowing money to purchase securities or the use of options, will cause the Fund to incur additional expenses and magnify the Fund’s gains or losses. The earnings and prospects of small and medium sized companies are more volatile than larger companies and may experience higher failure rates than larger companies. Small and medium sized companies normally have a lower trading volume than larger companies, which may tend to make their market price fall more disproportionately than larger companies in response to selling pressures and may have limited markets, product lines, or financial resources and lack management experience. The funds are new with a limited operating history.
Investments in smaller companies typically exhibit higher volatility. Investors in NEOS ETFs should be willing to accept a high degree of volatility in the price of each fund’s shares and the possibility of significant losses.
Bitcoin Risk: Bitcoin is a relatively new innovation and the market for bitcoin is subject to rapid price swings, changes and uncertainty. The further development of the Bitcoin network and the acceptance and use of bitcoin are subject to a variety of factors that are difficult to evaluate. The slowing, stopping or reversing of the development of the Bitcoin network or the acceptance of bitcoin may adversely affect the price of bitcoin. Bitcoin is subject to the risk of fraud, theft, manipulation or security failures, operational or other problems that impact the digital asset trading venues on which bitcoin trades. The Bitcoin blockchain may contain flaws that can be exploited by hackers. A significant portion of bitcoin is held by a small number of holders sometimes referred to as “whales.” Transactions of these holders may influence the price of bitcoin. NEOS ETFs are distributed by Foreside Fund Services, LLC.
