The Global X Greek FTSE 20 (NYSEArca:GREK) was the best
performing ETF on Friday, June 15, rising 8.72 percent as global
markets surged higher on hopes of more central bank stimulus to
support the global economy and that that Greece's election
would minimize recent volatility.
With the election now over, Greece has decided to support the
pro-bailout party, though how that affects GREK given its recent
volatility and ongoing uncertainty in the eurozone is hard to
predict.
Energy and precious metals rallied as well, as rallying stock
markets put investors in a bullish mood. The Dow Jones industrial
average jumped 115 points, or 0.91 percent, during Friday's trading
session, helped by hopes the Federal Reserve might assist the U.S.
economy given recent eurozone headwinds it faces.
The Guggenheim Solar ETF (NYSEArca:TAN) led the energy sector,
gaining 4.40 percent while PowerShares Global Coal Portfolio
(NYSEArca:PKOL) was up 3.79 percent.
The futures-based United State Copper Fund (NYSEArca:CPER)
outshined other metal funds, returning 3.63 percent, while
the equities-based EGShares Basic Materials GEMS ETF
(NYSEArca:LGEM) gained 3.21 percent.
Bottom Performers
Egypt concluded its first democratic presidential elections on
Sunday, and investors seemed to be uneasy about the results, as
Market Vectors Egypt took a dive, falling 3.64 percent on
Friday.
VIX-related ETPs held most of the spots on the worst-performers
list, as the products typically move sharply in the opposite
direction as the stock market.
Gold and natural gas funds meanwhile fell, with the Global X
Gold Explorers ETF (NYSEArca:GLDX) down 2.20 percent, while
the United States Natural Gas Fund (NYSEArca:UNG) shed 2.11
percent.
