United States index move drives massive SpaceX inflows
Tap title to read story
SpaceX is being added to MSCI’s standard and large-cap global indexes effective June 29, following its record-setting initial public offering on June 12, 2026. MSCI previously indicated that SpaceX would comfortably exceed the size and free-float thresholds for early inclusion of large IPOs. Analysts estimate that the MSCI changes from June 26 to 29 could trigger about $3 billion to $5 billion in passive fund buying, while SpaceX’s scheduled addition to the Nasdaq-100 on July 6 may prompt a further $8 billion to $12 billion. The steps coincide with recent rule changes at FTSE Russell but contrast with S&P Dow Jones Indices, which has declined rapid inclusion. SpaceX shares, run by Elon Musk, remain above their $135 IPO price after volatile trading.
