During a season when investor activity is typically in its summer doldrums, these two industry exchange-traded funds (ETFs) were hotter than July — the iShares U.S. Home Construction ETF (ITB) and the SPDR S&P Global Natural Resources ETF (GNR). Since the beginning of May, both funds have been rising to the upside.
Natural resources are essential for key industries and offer investment opportunities. SPDR® S&P Global Natural Resources ETF provides exposure to agriculture, energy, and metals and mining sectors. The GNR ETF offers diversified holdings, international exposure, and potential for outperformance compared to other natural resources ETFs.
