A record-breaking rally in Wall Street's main indexes paused earlier last week due to global supply chain issues, indicating that the inflationary pressure will not cool down anytime soon. This, in turn, boosted bond yields, hurting stocks. The S&P 500 (down 0.3%), the Dow Jones (down 0.6%), the Nasdaq (down 0.7%) and the Russell 2000 (down 1.0%) — all lost in values last week.
Still, there were a few ETF investing areas that gained last week, brushing aside the general downtrend in the market. Ultrashort Bloomberg Natural Gas ETF (KOLD - Free Report) , Etfmg 2X Daily Alternative Harvest ETF L), CSI China Internet Index Bull 2X Direxion (CWEB - Free Report) and Microsectors Gold Miners 3X ETN (GDXU - Free Report) deserve a mention in this regard (read: Gold Regains Sheen: 5 ETFs to Tap).
