On June 18, iShares A.I. Innovation and Tech Active ETF rose 5.15% in regular trading, trading at $52.85/share, with turnover of approximately $30.71 million.
The rally coincides with a broad surge across the global AI sector, driven by multiple policy catalysts and strong industry fundamentals. On June 17, the Shanghai Stock Exchange issued new guidelines expanding listing eligibility for unprofitable AI large model companies, signaling enhanced capital market inclusiveness for hard-tech AI enterprises. China's securities regulator also announced the expansion of STAR Market listing standards to cover AI large model businesses, aiming to accelerate AI innovation development.
Industry momentum remains robust as AI computing hardware continues to demonstrate leading growth. Analysts note that AI demand is shifting structurally from training to inference workloads, with token consumption on the inference side surpassing training for the first time. This transition is driving strong demand for low-latency scheduling, memory pooling, and dedicated inference chips. Additionally, Amazon's multi-billion-dollar fiber optic agreement with Corning for AI data center construction underscores the sustained capital expenditure cycle in AI infrastructure globally.
