The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Latin America (NYSEArca:EEML)
was one of the best-performing ETPs on Friday, returning 4.67
percent, as investors looked to take on a bit of risk the day after
a sharp sell-off of global equities.
EEML was in the No. 2 slot, and just below it were the Global X
China Materials ETF (NYSEArca:CHIM) and the iShares MSCI Spain ETF
(NYSEArca:EWP), which roses 4.46 percent and 4.31 percent,
respectively.
U.S. equities benefited from the momentary relief caused by
lowering eurozone selling pressures. The Dow Jones industrial
average went up 67.20, or 0.53 percent, closing at 12,641 before
the weekend began. But on Monday, selling pressure was back, as
investors worried a European Union summit scheduled for later this
week would probably not generate much in terms of tangible
results.
Contrary to other volatility-linked products, the iPath S&P
500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSEArca:VXX) jumped 11.11 percent,
making it Friday's best-performing exchange-traded product.
Worst Performers
The Market Vectors Junior Gold Miners (NYSEArca:GDXJ) was the
worst-performing, nonvolatility-linked fund on Friday, shedding
7.73 percent, as gold prices face head wind as long as the dollar
strengthens.
Volatility-linked ETPs dominated the worst-performers list once
more, as a generally positive U.S. stock market resulted in losses
for these products.
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Natural Gas Total Return ETN
(NYSEArca:GAZ) held the No. 6 spot on the "Bottom 10 1-Day
Performers" list, falling 6.16 percent. GAZ is unusually
volatile because its creations were halted in 2009, and since then
it has deviated quite a lot from its underlying net asset
value.
