Below we highlight the 1-day, 5-day and 1-month performance of key ETFs across all asset classes. The S&P 500 tracking SPY ETF was up 2% today, but it's only up 0.56% over the last 5 days and down 4 bps over the last month. SPY outperformed the Dow 30 and the Nasdaq 100 today, but underperformed the Midcap 400 (IJH) and Smallcap 600 (IJR). On a sector basis, Energy was up the most at 5.22%, followed by Materials and Telecom. The worst performing sectors today were Industrials and Health Care -- both up less than 1%.
Looking at country ETFs, Brazil (EWZ) was up the most today at 4.53%, followed by China (FXI), Russia (RSX) and India (INP). Nice going, BRIC. Japan's EWJ was the only country ETF that was up less than 1% on the day. Of the commodity ETFs, USO was up a whopping 5% as oil soared. And even though oil was up and the dollar was down, gold (GLD) was down 23 bps, causing gold bugs around the world to scratch their heads. Finally, fixed income ETFs were down once again across the board.

How is a job loss of -285,000 for the month of May consistent with a +2.0% GDP for the 2nd quarter? (See the BLS's 1-page summary at stats.bls.gov/web/cpse... , or at unlawflcombatnt.proboa... )
