01:28 PM EDT, 06/18/2024 (MT Newswires) -- (Corrects ETF name in the headline)

Nvidia's ( NVDA ) weighting in the index that the Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK) exchange-traded fund follows will likely increase to around 21%, displacing Apple ( AAPL ) as the second top pick next to Microsoft (MSFT), CNBC reported Monday.

Apple's ( AAPL ) weighting will drop significantly to 4.5% from about 22% while Nvidia ( NVDA ) is set to rise sharply from just 6% amid Nvidia ( NVDA ) shares' outperformance this year, the report said, citing Matthew Bartolini, head of SPDR Americas Research.

The major technology ETF will be forced to acquire more than $10 billion worth of Nvidia ( NVDA ) shares while cutting back dramatically on Apple ( AAPL ), the report said.

SPDR does not comment on specific trading strategies around rebalances, the report said.

The fund did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
