Europe-based ETFs held a majority of the spots on the
best-performing funds Wednesday, as investors in part responded
positively to Greece's newly created coalition government.
The First Trust Europe AlphaDex Fund (NYSEArca:FEP) gained 3.50
percent, while the iShares MSCI Norway Capped Investable Market
Index Fund (BATS:ENOR) tagged on 2.72 percent giving putting the
ETFs in the Nos. 2 and 3 spots, respectively.
Despite the European ETF rally, the iPath Pure Beta Grains ETN
(NYSEArca:ETN) was the top performing fund yesterday, returning
6.56 percent.
The U.S. market dipped in response to the Federal Reserve's
choice to extend "Operation Twist" causing the Dow Jones industrial
average to lose 12.94 points, or 0.10 percent, and close at
12,837.33.
Worst Performers
Coffee and oil-based ETNs were among the worst performing
exchange-traded products yesterday.
Both commodities took a hit as oil futures fell below $80 a
barrel for the first time in eight months and Arabica coffee
futures remain at a two-year low.
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Coffee Total Return ETN (NYSEArca:JO)
was the worst performer, shedding 4.33 percent.
The iPath S&P GSCI Crude Oil Total Return ETN (NYSEArca:OIL)
lost 4.14 percent, the United States Oil (NYSEArca:USO) dropped
3.76 percent and United States Brent Oil Fund (NYSEArca:BNO) fell
3.43 percent.
Volatility-related ETPs dominated the worst-performers list
again, most of which were linked to short-term futures.
