From Zacks: In the last trading session, U.S. stocks were mostly in the red. Among the top ETFs, investors saw (SPY – Free Report) lose over 0.8%, DIA shed around 0.6% and (QQQ – Free Report) shed about 0.8% on the day.

Two more specialized ETFs are worth noting in particular though as both saw trading volume that was far outside of normal. In fact, in the most recent trading session, both these funds experienced volume levels that were more than double their average. This could make these ETFs the ones to watch out for in the days ahead to see if this trend of extra interest continues:

This multi-asset ETF was in focus yesterday as over 150,000 shares moved hands compared with an average of roughly 37,000 shares. GYLD lost about 0.3% on the day.
