Bet on Quality ETFs to Combat Omicron and Fed Worries
Zacks Investment Research | Dec 01, 2021 09:29PM ET
Wall Street is again going through a tough phase. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 indices declined 3.7% and 0.8%, respectively, in November. The Russell 2000 index lost 4.3% in the month, marking its worst since March 2020.
The mood on the bourses seemed tensed on the final trading day of the month on the rising concerns over omicron strain and the possibility of the Federal Reserve increasing the pace of their tapering process. The new variant is feared to be carrying the combined features of previous variants and can have high transmissibility and lower vaccine potency.
