With the calendar now turned to 2024 and the first Federal Reserve meeting behind us, it is an exciting time for short duration fixed income products such as the Amplify Samsung SOFR ETF (SOFR). The Secured Overnight Funding Rate (SOFR) has recently traded above 5.3%, the highest level in the six-year history of the index. The treasury curve remains inverted, which means short duration products like SOF may currently offer a higher yield than many similar long duration products. Meanwhile, the overnight funding market has an interesting mix of catalysts coming up that investors should be aware of.
COMMENTARY After 9 consecutive weeks of gains in the S&P 500, it seemed like the equity rally had run out of steam just as the calendar turned the page on a new year. Or had it? Softer than expected inflation data reinforced expectations that interest rate cuts were a real possibility this year, though the timing continues to be a source of debate. Generally positive economic news and earnings releases supported the thesis that – despite being on the other side of one of the most aggressive interest rate hike campaigns ever – the economy and the consumer appeared relatively healthy. The result: by mid-January the equity markets were making all-time highs.
COMMENTARY Amplify Natural Resources Dividend Income ETF (NDIV) seeks investment results that generally correspond to the price and yield of the EQM Natural Resources Dividend Income Index.

Metals & mining (-10.19%) and chemicals (-5.16%) detracted the most to the Fund’s return for the month.1 Positions that contributed most significantly included Hess Midstream (HESM), Petroleo Brasieiro (PBR) and Phillips 66 (PSX).
