Markets were mixed close out the Wednesday after bouncing back from session lows on Fed minutes. ARK Funds were down for the most part with one exception. ARKX performed the best out of the group, with a 0.2% gain on the day, while ARKW did the worst, down 3.6%. The gains from the past year are slowly sliding away, but Cathie Wood may have something up her sleeve, as she is constantly reshuffling her ETFs to stand up to market headwinds.
