5 ETFs Up 20%+ in S&P 500's Best Week Since November 2020
Read MoreHide Full Article
The S&P 500 has probably logged its best week since November 2020. The S&P 500 has gained for four consecutive days this week, up 6.2%, marking its best week since November 2020. The blue-chip Dow is rose 5.5% for the week and logged its biggest weekly gain since November 2020. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was up 8.2% last week, probably marking its best week since February 2021.
Earlier last week, the U.S. central bank hiked its benchmark interest rate for the first time since 2018 and hinted at six more hikes this year. But the move was anticipated and hence there was no wild reaction in the market. Meanwhile, investors are hopeful about chances of a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine as the United States too discussed with China (which is apparently backing Russia) to bring up peace between the two countries.
“Fortunately, investor expectations for inflation over the next five years was brought down quite a bit, which, if sustained, will continue [to] be helpful for the Fed and the markets despite somewhat higher interest rates,” said John Vail, chief global strategist at Nikko Asset Management, as quoted on CNBC.
There was upbeat news on the China market. China’s stocks and ETFs registered a massive leap on Mar 16 after the country’s state council promised to keep its stock market steady amid a rout that washed off $1.5 trillion in value over the past two sessions.
Notably, China recorded a sharp rise in COVID-19 cases last week, which resulted in lockdowns in the key manufacturing hubs. But J.P Morgan and Credit Suisse expect China’s high COVID cases to have minimal impact on GDP, as quoted on Reuters.
Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few ETFs that gained at least 20% last week.
