5 Amazing Top-Ranked ETFs & Stocks On Sale

After a blockbuster start to 2018, the Wall Street once again saw a tumultuous ride last week thanks to a tech selloff, Fed rates hike and trade war fears. In particular, the major bourses suffered their worst week in more than two years with the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 tumbling 5.7% and 5.9%, respectively. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 6.5% (read: Play These Inverse ETFs to Profit From Market Bloodbath).

The massive decline came in late last week following Trump’s announcement that he is seeking to impose a tariff of up to $60 billion on Chinese imports in response to intellectual property theft from U.S. businesses. In response, China seems to be preparing for retaliation with a proposed list of 128 U.S. products worth $3 billion. This has made investors jittery, leading to risk-off trading, as tariffs will spur retaliation from China, triggering a global trade war between the world’s two largest economies.

However, the fear seems to have abated following the latest reports from Wall Street Journal that both the United States and China have started negotiating to improve American access to Chinese markets. Additionally, Trump exempted South Korea from steel tariffs levied earlier this month, suggesting that the President is using a fierce approach for more negotiating power rather than any real intention to start a global trade war. Given this, U.S. stocks rebounded strongly at the start of this week with the S&P 500 and Dow Jones gaining nearly 2% at the time of writing.

Further, strong corporate earnings, optimism surrounding Trump’s tax cut policies, pick-up in growth in developed and developing economies, robust job gains, growing wages, increasing consumer spending, a recovering housing market and a record level of consumer confidence will continue to drive the nine-year bulls (read: Best Performing ETFs of 9-Year Bull Run).

Given the bullish fundamentals, the selloff seen last week might charge up investors to snap up ETFs and stocks on the cheap for outsized gains in the coming weeks.
