After weeks of tumultuous trading, Wall Street rebounded on the May 17 trading session driven by bargain hunting. Investors jumped to buy beaten-down stocks in technology and other growth sectors.

As such, some ETFs from these sectors have gained more than 5% on the day. These include First Trust SkyBridge Crypto Industry & Digital Economy ETF (CRPT - Free Report) , VanEck Vectors Digital Transformation ETF (DAPP - Free Report) , Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW - Free Report) , VanEck Vectors Rare Earth/Strategic Metals ETF (REMX - Free Report) and U.S. Global Jets ETF (JETS - Free Report) . These funds seem excellent choices to play the stock market rebound.
 
The upbeat latest data has injected some optimism into the stock market. This is especially true as American shoppers increased retail spending in April for the fourth consecutive month. Retail sales grew 0.9% in April, indicating some signs of economic resilience as demand is still strong despite headwinds from high inflation, soaring consumer sentiment and rising interest rates.

Additionally, the reopening of some stores in Shanghai this week after a strict COVID-19 lockdown added to the strength. Further, Powell’s latest remarks that “the bigger rate hikes would be off the table for now even after the hot inflation readings” is expected to rekindle investors’ interest in risker assets once again (read: 5 Beaten-Down ETFs to Buy at Attractive Prices).
