The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) has slumped to its lowest level since February 4 this year. SCHD has dropped by 4.40% from its highest point this year, and this trend may continue falling before rebounding.<\/p>\n

SCHD ETF stock has dropped as American shares dump <\/h2>\n

The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF has suffered a big drop in the past few weeks, mirroring the performance of other American stock indices.<\/p>\n

Most of its constituents have dropped after the start of the US-Iran war. However, unlike the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 indices, it is better positioned to handle the ongoing crisis.<\/p>\n

That’s because the energy segment is the biggest part of the fund, with a 20% share. This includes companies like ConocoPhillips, Chevron, and EOG Resources. Most of these stocks have done well as crude oil<\/a> and natural gas prices have soared.<\/p>\n

Other large companies in the index are not highly affected by the ongoing Iran war. The health care segment is another major one, accounting for about 16.3%. This includes companies like Bristol Myers Squibb, Merck, Amgen, and AbbVie. Like in the energy segment, the health care one is not highly exposed to the ongoing war.<\/p>\n

The same is happening in other large companies like Texas Instruments, Verizon, Altria, and PepsiCo. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the fund has a minimal presence in the technology industry, which has come under pressure as analysts start to question the potential for an AI bubble. <\/p>\n

Hawkish Federal Reserve <\/h2>\n

The SCHD ETF has retreated amid the ongoing fear that the Federal Reserve will embrace a more hawkish tone amid the ongoing Iran war. In a statement on Wednesday, the bank decided to leave the interest rate unchanged between 3.50% and 3.75%.<\/p>\n

Officials signaled that they were concerned about the rising inflation data as energy, transportation, and fertilizer costs jumped. As a result, analysts believe that the bank will deliver at least two interest rate hikes this year. <\/p>\n

Historically, the SCHD ETF tends to beat the broader market whenever the Federal Reserve is hiking interest rates because it is made up of value stocks.<\/p>\n

Data shows that the fund is relatively undervalued compared with the broader market. The SCHD has a price-to-earnings (PE) ratio of 19, lower than the S&P 500 Index average of 23. Its price-to-cash-flow of 10 is also lower than that of the broader market.<\/p>\n

The daily chart shows that the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF has slumped in the past few days. It has dropped from a record high of $31.95 to the current $30.60. <\/p>\n

The ongoing retreat has brought the Relative Strength Index (RSI) from the overbought level of 86 to the current 40. Also, the Stochastic Oscillator has moved to the oversold level.<\/p>\n

Therefore, the stock will likely remain under pressure for a while and then stage a strong comeback. If this happens, it may drop to the 23.6% retracement level at $29.85 and then resume the uptrend.<\/p>\n
