FSTA in Focus
The underlying MSCI USA IMI Consumer Staples Index represents the performance of the consumer staples sector in the U.S. equity market. The product charges 8 bps in annual fees (see: all Consumer Staples ETFs).
Why the Move?
The consumer staples sector has been an area to watch lately, given the uncertainty surrounding the timing of the Fed rate cuts. The consumer staples sector is viewed as defensive as it includes a variety of items like food & beverages, and non-durable household goods that are essential for daily needs. Escalating geopolitical tensions, which are decreasing the risk appetite of investors, also bode well for the sector.
More Gains Ahead?
Currently, FSTA has a Zacks ETF Rank #3 (Medium) and a Medium risk outlook. However, it might continue its strong performance in the near term, with a positive weighted alpha of 5.60, which gives cues of a further rally.
