ARKF is trading at $45.74, down -3.15%, as hotter-than-expected September core CPI strengthened concerns about higher-for-longer rates, weighing on growth-oriented fintech and technology shares.

  • A renewed AI infrastructure debt selloff and weaker technology stocks added pressure.
  • Bitcoin and Ethereum also faced volatility after the inflation-driven selloff; ARKF’s exposure to crypto-linked companies makes that risk-asset weakness relevant.
