Best/Worst Daily ETF Returns: Commodities Shine
The iPath Dow Jones-UBS Coffee Total Return ETN (JO - News) was the best-performing exchange-traded product yesterday, riding the coattails of a rising stock market and leading a pack of other commodities funds that also rose.
JO was also buoyed by strength in the coffee futures market, as a wave of buying interest met technical indicators that pushed coffee values through four-week highs. JO gained 4.82 percent on the day.
That strong performance came in as the Dow Jones industrial average climbed 32.01 points, or 0.3 percent, to end the day higher at 12,534.67 as the market took a breather from selling driven by anxiety about the eurozone.
The other commodities ETFs among Tuesday’s best-performing funds included the Teucrium Corn Fund (CORN - News), which tagged on gains of almost 3.5 percent. It has risen about 17 percent so far this month.
The fund was boosted by concerns that dry and hot weather across the U.S. Midwest could seriously hinder corn yields and hurt the supply side of the corn market. Corn futures prices yesterday hit nine-month highs.
Still, weak U.S. consumer confidence and concerns that the upcoming two-day summit of European leaders might not yield a solution to the eurozone’s debt crisis continued to overhang the market and weigh on equities in general.
The AdvisorShares WMW/BNY Mellon Focused Growth ADR ETF (AADR - News) gave up nearly 3.3 percent on the day, while the SPDR S'P International Industrial ETF (IPN - News) dropped 2.76 percent.
The worst-performing fund yesterday, however, was the Elements Credit Suisse Global Warming ETN (GWO - News), which shed 8.26 percent in value. The environment-focused strategy serves up focused exposure to companies that work to minimize global warming.
