Inflation: Rising inflation may erode corporate profits, affecting stock valuations and thus the ETF's price.

Geopolitical Risks: Global political instability or conflict can create market uncertainty and lower investor confidence.

Currency Fluctuations: Changes in currency exchange rates affect the value of international assets held within the ETF.

Investor Sentiment: Overall market optimism or pessimism influences demand for the ETF and its price.
