    SpaceX IPO Forces Nasdaq-100 Rebalancing; Passive Funds Trim Apple and Nvidia

    Question

    SpaceX IPO Forces Nasdaq-100 Rebalancing; Passive Funds Trim Apple and Nvidia

    Direct answer

    The inclusion of SpaceX into major indices has triggered a massive rebalancing act. Because of SpaceX's $1.5 trillion valuation, index funds must sell significant portions of existing leaders like Apple and Nvidia to maintain weighting requirements. This technical selling comes as SpaceX itself trades below its offering price, creating a complex liquidity environment for tech-heavy ETFs.
