Why the Move?
The growth space of the U.S. stock market has been an area to watch lately, given that the major bourses hit new all-time highs. The latest rally can be attributed to the long-awaited phase-one trade deal between the world’s two largest superpowers as well as the latest upbeat data, especially on the job and housing front. In particular, growth stocks are leading the rally as these tend to outperform in a trending market (i.e. a market characterized by a prolonged uptrend).
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, IWF has a Zacks ETF Rank #1 (Strong Buy) with a Medium risk outlook, suggesting continued outperformance in the months ahead. Further, many of the segments that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank. So, there is definitely some promise for those who want to ride this surging ETF a little further.
