Prices for emerging market bonds and equities climbed on Tuesday after the Federal Reserve cut interest rates by 50 basis points, boosting the attraction of developing-market assets that can benefit from a weaker dollar backdrop. The iShares JP Morgan USD Emerging Market Bonds exchange-traded fund was up 1.2%, while the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF was up 0.9%. The ICE U.S. Dollar Index , which tracks the performance of the greenback against its major rivals, was down 0.4%. Lower interest rates in the U.S. tend to send investors looking for higher-yielding assets abroad in emerging markets. A weaker dollar also benefits emerging market corporations that borrow in the greenback, making it cheaper to pay down their debt obligations.
Here is a look at ETFs that currently offer attractive short selling opportunities. The ETFs included in this list are rated as sell candidates for two reasons. First, each of these funds is deemed to be in a downtrend based on the fact that its 50-day moving average is below its 200-day moving average, which are popular indicators for gauging long-term and medium-term trends, respectively. Second, each of these ETFs is also trading above its 20-day moving average, thereby offering a near-term “sell on the pop” opportunity given the longer-term downtrend at hand. Note that this prospect list also features a liquidity screen by excluding ETFs with average trading volumes below the one million shares mark. As always, investors of all experience levels are advised to use stop-loss orders and practice disciplined profit-taking techniques.
