June 4, 2018 The Week Ahead

U.S. stocks were mixed during the week with strength in the Nasdaq and Russell indexes, while the S&P 500 was slightly positive and the Dow Jones Industrials closing negative on the week. U.S jobs reported on Friday were solid, giving notion to the idea that the FOMC will raise rates again in their June meeting.

With earnings winding down and the summer around the corner, risk in the markets has shifted from domestic to overseas. Potential catalysts are trade disputes with China, politics in Europe, and peace negotiations with North Korea.

Here are how some of the most widely traded index ETFs performed over the week:
Powershares QQQ ETF (QQQ) +1.88%, SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) +0.29%, SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA) -0.63%, iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM) +1.12%

The VIX climbed slightly, closing at 13.50 on Friday.

Here are how some futures and commodity ETFs performed over the week: United States Oil Fund (USO) -7.28%, iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond (TLT) +1.19%, SPDR Gold Shares (GLD) -0.89%
