First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas ETF (NASDAQ: FTXN) is up 6% yesterday’s massive stock move. FXTN has been walloped by the oil price war and has taken a nearly 50% loss the last month.
The First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas ETF, an exchange-traded fund, is linked to the Nasdaq US Smart Oil & Gas Index. It aims to deliver results that are aligned with the price and yield before the fund’s fees and expenses are deducted. The investment objective of the fund is to provide performance results that exhibit a 95% correlation to the Nasdaq US Smart Oil & Gas Index.
Will FXTN and Oil Bounce Back?
It is hard to predict if FXTN will come back to its former value because of the coronavirus and oil prices. Also, oil demand is down and not likely to jump back to $40 a barrel soon.
Oil prices started the week with a decline because investors were disappointed with the postponement of the emergency meeting of OPEC+ from Monday to Thursday. However, this is not a final decision: the date may be revised.
Yesterday, the head of the National Welfare Fund of Russia, Kirill Dmitriev, said that the deal to reduce production by 10–15 million barrels between Russia and Saudi Arabia was at a very advanced stage and was practically concluded. However, information on the postponement of the talks scheduled for Monday was followed, which caused tension in the investment environment.
In general, the oil market froze in anticipation of the resolution of this issue, volatility fell, and the spread between Brent and WTI Crude Oil again fell to $4, which may indicate the end of the formation of the position and market readiness for a breakthrough.
What Should First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas ETF Investors Do?
Some investors are hopeful oil will up, but many more retired investors that lost money are suing their advisors for putting them into First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas ETF.
Haselkorn & Thibaut, a national investor law firm, is investigating potential FINRA claims involving First Trust Nasdaq Oil & Gas ETF (FXTN). This may be of significance for investors who have experienced losses by investing in this ETF. A FINRA arbitration claim may help such investors recover losses.
Traders that have a high-risk stomach may consider buying FXTN on the dip and selling on the bounce up. It should be pointed out that this ETF is a high risk.
