Why the Move?
The global stock market has been an area to watch lately given a pickup in economic activity in many parts of the world, robust corporate earnings, and improving investors’ sentiment. In particular, the Fed’s cautious stance released in its minutes and the extension of the OPEC deal have been adding strength lately.

Currently, VT has a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 or ‘Buy’ rating with a Low risk outlook, suggesting that the outperformance could continue in the months ahead. Further, many of the segments that make up this ETF have a strong Zacks Industry Rank, so there is definitely still some promise for those who want to ride on this surging ETF a little longer.
