Ahead of World Health Day on Apr 7, 2024, we prescribe 3 high-quality ETFs and stocks that may offer you solid gains in the current tumultuous market conditions.
While the rebound in manufacturing activity is a positive development, challenges such as subdued employment growth and inflationary pressures persist.
Oil prices surged recently to their highest levels since October as investors closely monitored escalating geopolitical tensions in key regions. The improved demand outlook is another reason for which oil prices can go higher.
Since October, Wall Street has been on a winning streak, defying concerns about various economic factors. However, although stocks wavered to start Q2, the Fed affirmed that the U.S. central bank will cut rates this year. This is a plus for S&P 500 ETF investing.
SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), which tracks the price of gold bullion, has gained 9.3% in the past month. In comparison, iShares Silver Trust (SLV), the ultra-popular silver ETF, has outperformed its gold cousin, climbing 12.6% in the same time frame.
Supported by the ongoing U.S.-led global economic growth, the macroeconomic outlook for emerging markets seems to be improving since late 2023. Encouraging indicators favoring the growth potential of EMs can result in investors shifting their focus away from the latter.
A record amount of money has flooded into the U.S. corporate bond markets this year, as investors rush to lock in the highest yields years ahead of the Fed rate cuts.
At Nvidia's last week's GTC AI conference, the company announced partnerships in the healthcare sector, representing a strategic move toward expanding its revenue streams beyond tech sectors.
Wall Street delivered a decent performance in March. With rates rising to start April, let's look at the key ETF stories of March that may hit headlines in April too.
The Bloomberg Commodity Index, a widely viewed measure of broad commodities prices, rose to its highest level since November driven by higher prices for oil, gold, and cocoa.
The U.S. Treasury yields are on the rise with the start of second-quarter 2024, as the hopes for interest rates cut in June cooled down following the hotter-than-expected manufacturing data.
Stocks slumped to start Q2 as an interest rate cut by the Fed may come later than anticipated before. Investors can rely on these ETF strategies to play rising yields.
Energy has been the best-performing sector of March, driven by a sharp rise in oil prices. We have highlighted the five best-performing ETFs from the sector that led the market last month.
