Key iShares Core S&P 500 ETF News

Here are the key news stories impacting iShares Core S&P 500 ETF this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Short interest in IVV fell sharply in December (down ~21% vs. Nov. 30), leaving only ~0.8% of shares sold short and a days-to-cover of ~0.7 — a smaller short base lowers the chance of squeeze-driven volatility and can support higher prices.
• Positive Sentiment: The S&P 500 hit a record close on Tuesday and has shown multiple consecutive up days, led by large-cap tech (Nvidia, Broadcom), which helps IVV because it tracks the S&P 500. Article Title
• Positive Sentiment: Analysts and commentators are flagging a possible Santa Claus rally and bullish technical setups for the S&P 500 into year-end, which supports continued inflows to broad-index products like IVV. 7000 Level in Sight for S&P 500

• Neutral Sentiment: Comparison pieces on ETFs note IVV’s lower expense ratio vs. SPY but also note SPY’s superior intraday liquidity — relevant for very large or short-term traders but less so for buy-and-hold investors. SPY vs. IVV: Built to Trade or Built to Hold
• Neutral Sentiment: Coverage of major investors’ holdings (e.g., Ray Dalio) mentions ETFs among top positions — such publicity can modestly influence flows but is not a direct driver of IVV moves. Ray Dalio’s Top Holdings Revealed
• Negative Sentiment: US futures slipped on Christmas Eve in some reports, creating short-term downside pressure and intraday volatility risk for IVV despite the broader uptrend. Stock Market Today: Futures Drop
