What Are the Top China ETFs for 2018?
Trade tensions are high heading into 2019, and it's not looking like the U.S. or China are going to be making any resolutions this new year. Authorities in the two countries have enacted new tariffs on products that are commonly exchanged, including cars, smartphones, and soybeans.

7 Energy ETFs That Could Be Running Out of Fuel
Energy commodities, namely oil, are among this year's best-performing commodities. Predictably, that scenario is proving beneficial for energy ETFs.After tumbling 18.20% last year, the Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLE), the largest energy ETF, is up 17.70% this year, underscoring the point that energy is one of the best-performing sectors in the S&P 500 to this point in 2019.While betting against energy ETFs has been losing proposition so far in 2019, that does not mean the group is immune to potential downside. Energy is a cyclical sector and could be tested if investors continue favoring defensive groups. Additionally, energy ETFs could be pinched by slowing global economic growth, which would crimp oil demand.InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips"With oil prices once again above our unchanged midcycle price of $55 per barrel, we see less value in oil-related stocks than we did at the beginning of the year," said Morningstar in a recent note. * Should You Buy Q1's 6 Best-Performing S&P 500 Stocks? Another variable to consider with energy ETFs is that sectors favorable seasonal period comes to an end in the middle of the second quarter. While that is not a guarantee of bad tidings with energy ETFs, it is something to consider because some of the following energy ETFs could be vulnerable to downside in the months ahead. SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (XOP)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35% per year, or $35 on a $10,000 investment. The SPDR S&P Oil & Gas Exploration & Production ETF (NYSEARCA:XOP) is rallying this year thanks in large part to this energy ETF's often intimate correlations to oil prices, but this is also what makes XOP vulnerable to significant downside if oil tumbles.XOP is up 17.50% this year. On its own, that sounds impressive, but when measured against the aforementioned XLE, XOP has not been the better bet on a risk-adjusted basis because exploration and production stocks are usually much more volatile than integrated oil names that dominate traditional energy ETFs like XLE.XOP could firm if oil inventories tighten and/or demand picks up. Given this energy ETF's domestic focus, the fund could benefit if U.S. shale producers scale back output during the second and third quarters, but there are no guarantees that scenario comes to pass. VanEck Vectors Oil Services ETF (OIH)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.35% per year, or $35 on a $10,000 investment. Another high flier that is highly tied to oil prices, the VanEck Vectors Oil Services ETF (NYSEARCA:OIH) is up 26.51% this year. This energy ETF shares something common with integrated oil funds: OIH is dominated by a small number stocks, namely Schlumberger Ltd. (NYSE:SLB) and Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL).Those two oil services giants combine for over 34% of OIH's weight. Any material retrenchment in those names makes it difficult for OIH to deliver upside. Good thing some analysts are bullish on Schlumberger. * 3 Healthcare Stocks to Trade Now "Schlumberger stands out as high-quality and favorably valued," said Morningstar. "The market seems to be underrating prospects for the SPM business, a fully integrated services model that aspires to deliver a sea change in oil and gas development costs. SPM is already delivering returns on capital far ahead of the rest of the company, and therefore the business will lift Schlumberger's profitability up as it grows as a share of revenue in years to come." United States Oil Fund (USO)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.84% per year. The United States Oil Fund (NYSEARCA:USO) is an energy ETF that is a likely epicenter of vulnerability if oil prices decline. This energy ETF is widely viewed as the bellwether oil fund, excluding equity-based products, and is also one of the most heavily traded commodities funds of any stripe. USO provides exposure to front month West Texas Intermediate (WTI) futures and there are some risks associated with that methodology."This method is particularly sensitive to short-term changes in spot prices, but can also result in heavy roll costs," according to ETF.com. "That makes USO a great vehicle for riding short-term moves in crude prices, but long-term holders may want to look at other options."Fortunately for bearish traders, USO has a robust options market and this energy ETF is highly liquid, meaning it is easy and cost-effective to sell short. Invesco S&P SmallCap Energy ETF (PSCE)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.29% per year, or $29 on a $10,000 investment. The Invesco S&P SmallCap Energy ETF (NASDAQ:PSCE) is the small-cap answer to the aforementioned XLE and that alone explains this energy ETF's potential vulnerabilities if another oil bear market arrives.With PSCE up 26.23% this year, more than double the returns of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index, envisioning major declines for this energy ETF over the near term may be hard to do. However, if oil falters in earnest, that could trigger concerns about global economic growth and if investors become concerned about the U.S. economy, small caps would likely retreat, creating a double whammy of sorts PSCE. * 5 Cannabis Stocks Set to Skyrocket -- According to Wall Street's Top Analysts This energy ETF's 39 holdings, which have an average market value of $880 million, "are principally engaged in the business of producing, distributing or servicing energy related products, including oil and gas exploration and production, refining, oil services and pipelines," according to Invesco. Invesco DWA Energy Momentum ETF (PXI)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.60%. Like many of the energy ETFs highlighted here, the Invesco DWA Energy Momentum ETF (NASDAQ:PXI) has been solid this year. And like many of the energy ETFs mentioned here, PXI faces two-fold scenarios that could make the fund vulnerable in the event oil prices retreat.First and foremost, PXI's composition, which includes a heavy tilt to mid- and small-cap stocks, makes the fund vulnerable to energy sector declines. Second, a momentum-based strategy could weaken more rapidly than cap-weighted energy ETFs if oil prices quickly erode.One sign to steer clear of PXI in oil bear market is already clear: this momentum energy ETF is up just 15% this year, trailing cap-weighted rivals like XLE by more than 200 basis points. Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (CHIE) Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.66%. The Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:CHIE) is another example of an energy ETF with impressive year-to-date gains (CHIE is up 16.55%) where speculating on near-term declines is a tricky endeavor, particularly with Chinese stocks ranking as among the world's top performers.CHIE's underlying index includes "all eligible securities as per MSCI's Global Investable Market Index Methodology, including China A, B and H shares, Red chips, P chips and foreign listings, among others," according to Global X. * 5 Automobile Stocks to Consider Now CHIE would be vulnerable to broader retrenchment in Chinese stocks, which would likely weigh on the global energy sector given that the world's second-largest economy is still a major energy importer. Plus, with CHIE lagging the equivalent U.S.-focused energy ETFs this year, the risk/reward trade off here currently is not favorable. First Trust Natural Gas ETF (FCG)Source: Shutterstock Expense ratio: 0.60%. The First Trust Natural Gas ETF (NYSEARCA:FCG) is up more than 19% this year, which is an impressive showing for this energy ETF. FCG is a mid-cap fund as highlighted by a median market value of $3.27 billion for the fund's 33 holdings.One of the primary issues with FCG is trusting that this fund will maintain its lead over traditional energy ETFs if oil and natural gas prices stay high and that FCG will not overshoot rival energy ETFs on the downside if energy commodities fall.These are relevant points because FCG has a history of lagging standard energy ETFs like XLE. From 2013 through 2018, FCG never outperformed XLE and during rough years for oil, such as 2014 and 2018, FCG's were much more severe than those incurred by regular energy ETFs.Todd Shriber does not own any of the aforementioned securities.Compare Brokers The post 7 Energy ETFs That Could Be Running Out of Fuel appeared first on InvestorPlace.

5 Oil ETFs for Rising Prices
After ranking as one of last year's worst-performing commodities and sectors, oil and the energy sector are rebounding to start 2019. Among exchange-traded funds (ETFs), the United States Oil Fund (NYSEARCA:USO), one of the most heavily traded oil ETFs, is up more than 20% year-to-date. The Energy Select Sector SPDR (NYSEARCA:XLE), the dominant name among equity-based oil ETFs, is up 12% this year, aided by big earnings tests. On Friday, Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) and Chevron (NYSE:CVX) reported fourth-quarter earnings beats. The two largest U.S. oil companies combine for anywhere from 35% to 40% of cap-weighted oil ETFs like XLE. Additional data points confirm that oil ETFs are experiencing early year bullishness. The commodity snapped a three-month losing streak last month and notched its best January performance ever. InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips Recently, the price of crude oil was supported by news of Saudi Arabia cutting imports to the U.S. and the U.S. imposing new sanctions on Venezuela. Both Saudi Arabia and Venezuela are members of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). * 7 S&P 500 Stocks to Buy That Tore Up Earnings With all that, here are some the best oil ETFs to consider over the near-term. ### VanEck Vectors Oil Services ETF (OIH) Expense Ratio: 0.35% per year, or $35 on a $10,000 investment. Among equity-based oil ETFs, oil services funds, such as the VanEck Vectors Oil Services ETF (NYSEARCA:OIH), are among the most intimately correlated to oil prices. That explains why OIH is up nearly 22% this year and why the largest oil services fund plunged 44.6% last year. The U.S. shale boom has been a key driver of oil services stocks' profitability in recent years and any slowdown on that front could be a headwind for the group. Fortunately, the geopolitical drama in Venezuela is not seen as a headwind for oil services ETFs. "Longer-term, Venezuelan production, however, may score a significant boost if opposition leader Juan Guaido succeeds in his claim to the presidency. That would contribute more oil to world-wide supplies," according to MarketWatch. Like other cap-weighted oil ETFs, OIH has some concentration risk. The fund devotes almost 36% of its combined weight to just two stocks: Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB) and Halliburton (NYSE: HAL). ### Fidelity MSCI Energy ETF (FENY) Source: Shutterstock Expense Ratio: 0.084% As has been widely documented, Fidelity is one of the low-cost leaders in the ETF arena. In fact, the issuer offers the least expensive lineup of sector ETFs, a group that includes the Fidelity MSCI Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:FENY). FENY is a basic, cap-weighted oil ETF and, like the aforementioned XLE, this Fidelity fund features significant exposure to Exxon and Chevron. Those stocks combine for almost 37% of FENY's roster. Exxon is in the midst of a major reorganization aimed increasing efficiencies and profits. * 7 Stocks With Too Much Riding On China "The reorganization will fold seven companies into three as of April 1, merging units for production, exploration, development, gas and power marketing, and others," according to Reuters. ### Invesco Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production ETF (PXE) Source: Shutterstock Expense Ratio: 0.65% The Invesco Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production ETF (NYSEARCA:PXE) uses a unique weighting methodology relative to other oil ETFs. The Dynamic Energy Exploration & Production Intellidex Index, PXE's underlying benchmark, "thoroughly evaluates companies based on a variety of investment merit criteria, including: price momentum, earnings momentum, quality, management action, and value," according to Invesco. Those stringent indexing requirements give PXE a roster of 30 stocks, which is small compared to traditional oil ETFs like FENY and XLE. When oil prices are rising, PXE's methodology works, as highlighted by a 2019 gain of almost 13%. ### Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (CHIE) Expense Ratio: 0.65% Tactical investors looking for international exposure with oil ETFs may want to consider the Global X MSCI China Energy ETF (NYSEARCA:CHIE). As the world's second-largest economy, China is a major oil consumer and producer. On a related note, China is also home to some of the world's largest integrated oil companies. CHIE reflects as much, as the top three such companies combine for over 28% of this oil ETF's weight. "Chinese sectors have their own unique fundamentals relative to each other and their U.S. counterparts," according to Global X research. "The prevalence of state ownership in certain sectors is the likely cause of this feature, particularly among the Financials, Energy, Industrials, and Utilities sectors. Other factors include changing demographics as well as the composition of the Chinese market from both a sector and industry perspective." * 10 Stocks to Sell in February CHIE is up nearly 8% year-to-date. ### Cushing Energy & MLP ETF (XLEY) Expense Ratio: 0.65% The Cushing Energy & MLP ETF (NYSEARCA:XLEY) is one of the newest oil ETFs, having debuted in December. This new oil ETF offers a mix of traditional energy stocks as well as high-yielding master limited partnerships (MLPs). To avoid some of the tax issues associated with dedicated MLP funds, XLEY allocates 76% to S&P 500 energy and oil stocks and 24% to MLPs. While XLEY features many of the names found in traditional oil ETFs, the fund does not allocate more than 6.08% to any of its holdings, indicating its concentration risk is benign relative to more traditional counterparts. XLEY is up 15% year-to-date and could prove to be a useful avenue for income-focused investors seeking energy exposure this year. As of this writing, Todd Shriber does not own any of the aforementioned securities. ### More From InvestorPlace * 2 Toxic Pot Stocks You Should Avoid * 7 of the Best Stocks to Buy for a Dovish Federal Reserve * 5 Best Fidelity ETFs for Retirement Savers * 7 Blue-Chip Stocks That Could Lead the Market Higher Compare Brokers The post 5 Oil ETFs for Rising Prices appeared first on InvestorPlace.

Areas of Value That ETF Investors Should Look Into
Despite the bout of market volatility, investors should not totally forsake investing in the markets and ETFs all together, but people should consider options to safely ride out the environment ahead. "I think you can't take your eye off the ball, and the ball is long-term investing," Jon Maier, SVP and Chief Investment Officer for Global X, said at the Charles Schwab IMPACT 2018 conference. After the year of volatility, there are a number of markets that have been battered and beaten down, which may be a buying opportunity for long-term investors to get in on the cheap.
