Market/ETF Review and Outlook Video
The major index ETFs extended their downtrends with a vengeance over the last five trading days. It was a most exceptional period because almost everything declined the last five days – and I do mean everything. 52-week lows expanded within the stock market as new groups joined the bear market. Industrial metals followed stocks lower. Precious metals and Treasury bonds did not offer an alternative as they fell too. The only alternatives in uptrends are the Dollar, agricultural commodities and energy-related ETFs.
