FXE Is Oversold: Trade The Bounce

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 21 May 2012 11:00:32 +0000

Predicting the future is not easy, it might even be impossible. However, anticipating the recent wave of fear in the markets should have been a no-brainer. Seriously. Anyone with a 2012 European parliamentary elections calendar could have speculated (with great certainty) that debt drama would likely resurface; in early March of this year we gave ETF investors a heads up that the next bump in Europe’s road to recovery could come as early as April. The stars aligned as faith would have it and Greek elections welcomed back the bears [see 3 ETF Trading Tips You Are Missing]. If you missed (or got burned by) the recent Euro zone-inspired sell-off, consider the chart for the Rydex CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (FXE) once again as it may offer some compelling trading opportunities in the foreseeable future. Keep in mind that headlines from the overseas currency bloc have a tendency to sway the markets in unpredictable ways, and as such, the [...]

With earnings season in the books, investors will once again focus their attention on fundamental data releases along with headlines from the Euro zone.

ETF Insider: Opportunities In A Pullback

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 14:04:45 +0000

U.S. stocks staged an impressive recovery last week as major indexes held above key technical resistance levels, 1,360 for the S&P 500 Index, bolstered by upbeat earnings results. Investors also reacted positively following the latest FOMC announcement which reaffirmed the Fed’s commitment to keeping interest rates low until late 2014. Confidence in the domestic recovery is growing judging from the positive reaction on Wall Street after last Friday’s GDP report [see also Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time].

Euro Drama Is Back: Trade The Range In FXE

Stoyan Bojinov — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 11:00:41 +0000

With all of the euphoria building on Wall Street since the start of 2012, many investors seemingly forgot about the lingering, unresolved Euro zone debt drama. Despite the optimistic sentiment building on the home front thanks to encouraging data releases, the global economic recovery remains largely influenced by the health of the fragile currency bloc overseas [see Euro Free Europe ETFdb Portfolio]. Traders may wish to capitalize on this largely uncertain outlook by taking note of developing technical patterns in one of the most popular currency ETFs available: the CurrencyShares Euro Currency Trust (FXE). With uncertainty comes volatility, and for traders, this an opportunity to capture potentially hefty gains in a relatively short amount of time. Nonetheless, market timing is everything, and placing the right buy order is just as important as knowing when to take profits and cut losses [see ETF Insider: More Earnings, More Volatility]. Fears over Spain’s towering [...]

ETF Insider: More Earnings, More Volatility

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 19:07:29 +0000

With Euro zone debt woes creeping back onto Wall Street last week, investors were reminded of the looming challenges that will continue to pose headwinds for the currency bloc in the foreseeable future. Nonetheless, from a technical perspective, the longer-term uptrend in broad equity indexes including the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average, and Nasdaq remains in-tact; if these benchmarks tumble past last week’s lows, however, then there is a great possibility that a major correction will unfold, perhaps eating away most of this year’s gains [see Free Report: How To Pick The Right ETF Every Time]. Weekly Outlook Below, we highlight ETFs that may see an increase in trading activity as relevant market data is released and evaluated by investors: Financial Select Sector SPDR (XLF): This ETF could see major swings in price throughout the week as two bellwether financial firms report earnings results; Goldman Sachs is slated to [...]

ETF Insider: The Uptrend Remains For Now

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 17:07:43 +0000

Equity indexes on Wall Street oscillated between gains and losses throughout the majority of the trading week as slightly disappointing economic data releases were enough to encourage broad-based profit taking. Investors were displeased with a slow down in durable goods orders, although better-than-expected consumer sentiment on Friday helped to restore confidence. This week will see a host of important economic news on the home front which could potentially tip the markets lower if a correction develops, although the bulls will surely look to retain their dominance on Wall Street. Weekly Outlook Below, we highlight ETFs that may see an increase in trading activity as relevant market data is released and evaluated by investors: SPDR Gold Trust (GLD): Gold prices may have a volatile trading session on Tuesday as the latest FOMC minutes are released. Any hints of further quantitative easing could spark inflation fears and send GLD higher. First Trust NASDAQ Global [...]

ETF Insider: Excitement Cools Off, Momentum Still Positive

Stoyan Bojinov — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 11:00:04 +0000

Bullish momentum cooled off a bit last week thanks to sparse economic data releases and lingering profit taking pressures. Investors fretted over worse-than-expected data from the housing market on the home front, while slowdowns in manufacturing across Europe and China also added to the list of uncertainties. Despite relative weakness in the stock market, gold prices posted a lackluster performance; the precious metal oscillated between minor gains and losses for most of the week, managing to end the week right near $1,660 an ounce.

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. Analysts are expecting for CPI [...]

ETF Insider: Did Wall Street Forget About Greece?

Stoyan Bojinov — Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:15:43 +0000

Bullish euphoria bolstered equity markets higher last week as better-than-expected economic data stole the headlines. Investors were more than happy to see a big jump in consumer confidence as well as an encouraging GDP report, both of which boosted confidence in the recovery. The biggest surprise on Wall Street was Ben Bernanke’s testimony before Congress; the Fed Chairman sparked volatile trading after he gave no indication that there would be an additional round of quantitative easing like many had anticipated [see Gold Hits Resistance, Time To Worry?]. Several key economic data releases from all over the globe as well as ongoing developments in the debt burdened Euro zone will likely dominate the headlines this week. Weekly Outlook The unemployment report will take center stage at home on Friday, while earlier in the week investors will also digest the latest European Central Bank rate decision. Below, we highlight ETFs that may [...]

Three ETFs To Watch This Week: EWG, FXE, SPY

Jared Cummans — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 09:00:29 +0000

This past week was relatively tame as far as important data is concerned, but that does not mean that it was without its high points. The Greek debt deal certainly sparked life in trading as the world formed their own opinions on the second bailout and whether or not it would save the drowning country. All the while, crude oil was surging, as the commodity closed out the week above $109/barrel, its highest point for several weeks. Gold had a strong week as well, though the precious metal surrendered some of its advances during Friday’s trading session. This coming week will be packed with significant data and markets will surely move big in either direction. Below, we outline three funds to keep a close eye on as this busy week unfolds [see also Why No Investor Should Own GLD]. MSCI Germany Index Fund (EWG) Why EWG Will Be In Focus: This ETF [...]
