ETF Trends: April ETF Performance Report

Each month ETF Trends publishes a useful performance round-up of ETFs (non-leveraged) trading on American stock exchanges.

"The markets and exchange traded funds (ETFs) in April had their fair share of ups and downs, but in the end, it was a positive month for several sectors and the major indexes.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 7.3% for the month. The Nasdaq gained 12.7%, and the S&P 500 increased 9.4%. While there are some areas that are still struggling, a few sectors are also showing signs of improvement and crossing above their long-term trend lines (200-day moving average). This includes retail (up 20.9% in April), Taiwan (up 26.6%) and networking (up 29.7%).

The strongest sector this month was REITs, which rose about 32%.
