VDC is trading at $250.81, up 3.62%, as the broad market rebounded after midterm-election uncertainty eased.

  • Treasury yields declined as investors anticipated legislative gridlock.
  • Walmart’s multi-year $6 billion Symbotic automation commitment may support sentiment toward VDC’s largest holding, about 13.9% of the fund.
  • Sector reporting said consumer staples were lagging on November 4, so VDC’s gain does not appear to reflect a broad staples rally.
