During the last week, the world continued to digest the ongoing European debt crisis. Investors turned to precious metals as a safe haven and took gold to record highs while other precious metals advanced as well. As the crisis unfolds, some investors were decreasing risk and looking for yield. With uncertainty surrounding many currencies, the Currency ETF Index traded very well as investors purchased currencies that were not associated with current global issues. Top tickerspy ETF Indexes: The Commodity ETFs Index has risen 2.7% over the last week. As investors continue to take precious metals to record highs, the Commodity ETF has benefited.

Shares of ProShares Ultra Gold (UGL) and DGP name to DB Gold Double Long ETN (DGP) led the Index higher this week. The Bond ETFs Index increased 0.7% over the last week. As the market traded with some volatility this week, investors reduced risk and looked to yield as an alternative. This propelled the Bond ETFs Index to one of the top performances.

The Currency ETFs Index was fractionally lower this week.
