Green day on Thursday for iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate
(Updated on Jun 25, 2026)
The iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate ETF price gained 0.0376% on the last trading day (Thursday, 25th Jun 2026), rising from $79.85 to $79.88. During the last trading day the ETF fluctuated 0.200% from a day low at $79.82 to a day high of $79.98. The price has fallen in 5 of the last 10 days but is still up by 0.52% over the past 2 weeks. Volume fell on the last day by -11 million shares and in total, 28 million shares were bought and sold for approximately $2.20 billion. You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The ETF is moving within a narrow and horizontal trend and further movements within this trend can be expected. Given the current horizontal trend, you can expect iShares iBoxx $ High Yield Corporate ETF with a 90% probability to be traded between $79.34 and $80.63 at the end of this 3-month period. A break of a horizontal trend is often followed by a large increase in the volume, and ETFS seldom manage to go directly from the bottom of a trend up to the top. ETFS turning up in the middle of a horizontal trend are therefore considered to be potential runners.
