Here are 7 ETFs You Need to Know for Tuesday.
In addition to the ^INP^, which dropped below its 200-day moving average yesterday, sellers have been aggressive in the market for shares of the ^EPI^, which are also now trading below its 200-day moving average after closing lower for four days in a row.
Among those country funds that have sold off and pulled back – but remain above their 200-day moving averages are the ^RSX^ (below).
and the ^EWA^ (below).
The RSX effectively has been rangebound for the past eight trading days. Heading into trading on Tuesday, the ETF is now back at the lower end of that range and trading in oversold territory.
By contrast, the EWA has pulled back for the past two days in a row, with Monday’s close putting the fund in oversold territory ahead of Tuesday’s open.
