Investors looking for ETFs with rising momentum should begin to consider the Market Vectors Agribusiness ETF (MOO). This product just hit a new 52-week high of $53.39 on Monday, and is now up 27.42% from its 52-week low price of $41.90 per share.

Will this ETF continue its string of recent wins? Let’s take a closer look at the fund, its recent gains, the category it resides in, and its ratings and outlook to get a sense of whether its momentum is sustainable or not.

Inside MOO’s Rise

As mentioned earlier, MOO has now gained 27.42% from its 52-week low, which was hit back on January 25, 2016. The fund has now returned 4.30% over the past month, 10.26% over the past three months, and 11.25% in the past six months. Those returns compare very favorably to the benchmark S&P 500 index’s 0.19%, 6.43%, and 5.47% returns in the same periods, respectively. Clearly, the Ag sector is outperforming greatly right now.

MOO currently sits above its 10-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages (MAs), which from a technical standpoint suggests a very strong possibility that the recent gains can continue. That’s because the shares have no short-term overhead resistance to bump up against.
