Invesco QQQ Trust And Vanguard Growth ETF Ranked Top ETFs This Week (2024)

Last week was full of crypto crashes and the market went sideways, but the week of May 24th is starting off in the green for both. The Dow, S&P 500, and especially the Nasdaq NDAQ were well into the green as tech shares surged and the reopening trade appears to be back on track. Covid cases dropping to their lowest level since June in the US might be part of the equation here, as the new infections 7-day average dropped to 26,000 according to Johns Hopkins University. This is the last full trading week of the month, and it appears the Sell in May and Go Away theory is in the lead, with all major US indices currently in the red. We will see how the month ends up from here. This week’s Top Buy ETFs are here to find a diversified way to gain exposure to certain sectors of the market. Q.ai’s deep learning algorithms have identified several to look out for this week based on their fund flows over the last 90-days, 30-days, and 7-days.
