ETF Market Summary: Week Ending June 15th 2007

    On the week, 21 of 26 categories ended up.  Of these 21 categories, 17 ended up at least 1%, with the largest gains seen in Russia, Latin America, and China.  Of those 5 categories that were in the red, only 2 were down more than 0.3% - short funds, on the wrong end of the market this week, and real estate funds, still plagued by the on-going subprime and rate worries.

    It's interesting as well to note that the categories with the highest correlation to the S&P after retail were Russia and MSCI.  Those with the lowest correlations after short funds were currency, convertible, and call-write funds, as is typically the case.
