Wall Street was downbeat last week. Each of the key equity gadgets — the S&P 500 (down 0.7%), the Dow Jones (down 0.01%), the Nasdaq Composite (down 1.6%) and the Russell 2000 (down 1.8%) — lost last week. Rising rate worries and recessionary fears were the key concerns.
There have been a lot of good news for Chinese markets last week. The dual tailwind of easing tensions between the United States and China as well as the easing of zero-COVID restrictions triggered a huge rally (read: Bet on China ETFs on a Solid Turnaround).
Investors now see warmer ties between the world’s two largest economies after the G20 (Group of Twenty) summit, reducing delisting risks for hundreds of New York-listed Chinese firms and boosting the outlook for trade. Additionally, China’s supportive measures to its struggling real estate market added to the strength.
There were ups and downs in the semiconductor space too. Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK-B) grabbed a stake of about $5 billion in Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (TSM - Free Report) , as the veteran investor thinks the world’s leading chipmaker has bottomed out after a selloff of more than $250 billion.
Shares of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited shot up last week and acted as a cornerstone for the entire semiconductor space. However, Nvidia’s downbeat Q3 earnings finally weighed on the semiconductor space. Hence, VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH - Free Report) added 0.3% past week (read: Should You Buy Taiwan Semiconductor-Heavy ETFs Now?).
Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few top-performing inverse/leveraged ETFs of last week.
