Read MoreHide Full Article
In the last trading session, U.S. stocks gained on stimulus hopes. Among the top ETFs, investors saw (SPY - Free Report) gain 6%, (DIA - Free Report) advance 5.4%, and (QQQ - Free Report) move 7.6% higher on the day on stimulus hopes.
Two more specialized ETFs are worth noting as both saw trading volume that was far outside of normal. In fact, both these funds experienced volume levels that were more than double their average for the most recent trading session. This could make these ETFs ones to watch out for in the days ahead to see if this trend of extra-interest continues.
This technology ETF was in the spotlight as around 50.41 million shares moved hands compared with an average 16.31 million shares a day. We also saw some price movement as XLK gained 6.8% in the last session. The movement can largely be credited to the anticipated U.S. government stimulus. XLK has shed 24% in a month’s time.
