For another week, rising bond yields and inflation fears weighed on markets. However, last week did not end all that badly. Time will tell if the rotation into recovery names and out-of-growth names will continue this week, but it’s worth monitoring. Stocks have indeed started off the week on a high note thanks to stimulus optimism and hopes that bond yields will eventually stabilize after hedge fund manager David Tepper’s comments. Plus, the pandemic looks to be easing coupled with an improving vaccine rollout. However, be mindful of inflation — it’s looking as if it may be a mounting risk. Based on all of this news, we’ve put together a list of trending ETFs for the week that can help you diversify your portfolio and potentially mitigate risks. Q.ai’s deep learning algorithms have identified several ETFs to look out for this week based on their fund flows over the last 90-days, 30-days, and 7-days. We have identified one Top Buy, two Attractive, one Neutral, and two Unattractive. We also decided to feature two interesting Unrated ETFs this week as well.
