ETF Spy: Risk Returns to Europe (FEZ, EZU, VGK, IEV, DOL, DTH, FAN, PWND, IXG)

by Eric Monte | July 26th  |  Filed in: ETF News

During the last week, the world was given more clarity on the Greek debt crisis. Investors returned to international banking stocks as a way to bet on the turn around in Europe. As oil continued to trade higher, traders began buying shares of alternative energy companies that specifically focused on the wind energy sector. As the United States government continues to work out a debt ceiling resolution, investors turned to high yielding investments as a way to reduce risk.
