ETF Insider: Be Wary Of A Dead Cat Bounce

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 21 May 2012 16:53:48 +0000

After taking a beating last week, equity markets appear to be holding at key technical support levels at the start of this week. More specifically, watch for the S&P 500 Index as it fluctuates around the 1,300 mark; a break below this level could accelerate selling pressures and sink the benchmark to to anywhere from 1,275 to 1,250. The coming week has a number of important economic data reports on the home front that can potentially inspire a bull stampede, although Euro zone headlines can certainly take precedence without notice [see also 3 ETF Trading Tips You Are Missing].

Jared Cummans — Mon, 14 May 2012 08:00:54 +0000

After a relatively dull week on Wall Street, the coming trading days will see the heat turned up on markets as a wealth of economic data will be reported from all over the world. But that is not to say that last week did not see any developing trends, as there were a few key takeaways. For starters, both gold and crude oil have been sliding as of late as investors and analysts try to call entry points into each major commodity. Last week also saw news that JP Morgan was on the sour end of a trade executed by the company, losing approximately $2 billion and causing the stock to plummet.

Three ETFs To Watch This Week: EWL, FXB, GLD

Jared Cummans — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 08:00:28 +0000

As we enter Q2, investors will be looking back to one of the best three-month stretches in recent history, as stocks surged amid a rally that has defined 2012. Both the Dow and S&P 500 have crossed pivotal points as they have hit post-recession highs and set their sights on a full recovery. But the recovery will greatly hinge on the upcoming quarter, as strong data and guidance is needed to prove that the first part of 2012 was no fluke. Investors will have their eyes fixed on the Fed and the possible announcement of QE3 as well as lagging housing data to lead the way, or drag down the recovery. For now, we outline three ETFs to watch as we kick off a quarter with another busy week on Wall Street [see also Three Things Wall Street Journal Didn’t Tell You About Commodities].

Stoyan Bojinov — Wed, 21 Mar 2012 08:00:48 +0000

Domestic equity indexes started off in the gutter on Tuesday so to speak after the latest housing market data sparked a wave of profit taking across Wall Street. Investors fretted over worse-than-expected housing starts in February; this figure came in at 698,000 versus the previous month’s reading of 706,000. Gold slid lower alongside stocks on the day as futures prices for the precious yellow metal shed just over 1%, settling near $1,650 an ounce [see also Gold Hits Resistance, Time To Worry?].

ETF Insider: No Rest For The Bulls

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:24:08 +0000

Equity markets continued their trek higher last week as encouraging economic data is a key driver of price action now that Euro zone woes have finally taken a backseat. In light of the positive fundamental improvements on the home front, this week is looking to be fairly uneventful in terms of major data releases aside from home sales figures. News from international markets also appear to be sparse in the coming days, which makes the trading week all the more unpredictable; will bullish momentum finally cool off or is any pullback a buying opportunity? Weekly Outlook Below, we highlight ETFs that may see an increase in trading activity as relevant market data is released and evaluated by investors: CurrencyShares British Pound Sterling Trust (FXB): U.K. inflation data is on tap for Tuesday morning, which could spark volatile trading for the British pound in the currency market.

Three ETFs To Watch This Week: ENZL, FXB, XHB

Jared Cummans — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 08:00:29 +0000

Last week saw equities continue their surge, as the Dow made a case to hold well above the 13,000 level and the S&P was able to cross the 1,400 benchmark. While a number of investors are cheering on the rally, the rapid rise has many worried that some kind of pullback is overdue and that stocks may be unable to maintain current levels. But we have heard calls for a pullback all year long and markets have simply continued to charge onward. Looking ahead to the coming week, there will be several key economic indicators released all over the world, but for all intents and purposes, it will be a relatively quiet period compared to weeks past [see also Gold Hits Resistance, Time To Worry?].

ETF Insider: Wall Street Welcomes New Highs

Daniela Pylypczak — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 12:00:50 +0000

Equity markets ended the week in positive territory although price action was rather uneventful considering news of the Greek bailout along with several encouraging data releases on the home front. Despite positive developments in the Euro zone, gold prices jumped ahead of stocks in terms of weekly performance, showcasing that investors are not entirely convinced that the proposed bailout will fully remedy the debt situation overseas. Wall Street ended the week on a high note after consumer sentiment came in better-than-expected, helping to boost investors’ confidence on the final trading day of the week.

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:29:09 +0000

Last week’s bull-run on Wall Street came to a halt screeching halt on Friday as investors expressed their concerns over the looming, unresolved Euro zone debt crisis. Greek leaders and European policymakers have been battling it out in the negotiations room, although it appears that the drama may be nearing a climax as the debt burdened nation has begun to accept the proposed austerity measures in an effort to avoid default.

ETF Insider: Will Euro Woes Rain On The Bull’s Parade?

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:10:57 +0000

Equity markets soared to multi-month highs last week as investors digested encouraging economic data on the home front coupled with positive corporate performance surprises. Wall Street ended the week on a high note after the unemployment rate fell to 8.3%, paving the way for the bulls before Superbowl weekend. Looking forward, with earnings seasons dwindling down to its final releases, investors will need to once again consider the situation in Europe. Greek debt woes have resurfaced early this week as lawmakers overseas continue to struggle to reach a bailout agreement. With no major economic data releases at home this week, investors will likely have to shift their attention back to the debt burdened currency bloc, whether they like it or not. Weekly Outlook The coming week will be filled with central bank meetings and key inflation data releases. Below, we highlight ETFs that may see an increase in trading activity [...]
