Sail Through Omicron-Induced Market Volatility With These ETFs
Share Share Share Share Share

This story originally appeared on Zacks

Wall Street recovered from the omicron strain-related setback on Nov 29 to some extent. President Joe Biden’s assurances that if people undertake proper restrictions, new lockdown measures and travel-related restrictions might not have to be imposed, supported the market sentiments. The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite indices were up 1.3% and 1.9%, respectively, on the day.

Meanwhile, the omicron strain of coronavirus has brought about a slowdown in the market momentum. Dow Jones Industrial Average index witnessed its weakest performance since October 2020 on Nov 26. Going on, Moderna MRNA CEO Stephane Bancel’s comment to the Financial Times on Nov 29, claiming that he anticipates the existing COVID-19 vaccines to prove comparatively less effective against the new strain, has brought about a new wave of concerns (per a CNBC article).

Investors willing to sail through the current market turbulences from the latest COVID-19-variant-related concerns can consider iShares MSCI USA Min Vol Factor ETF USMV, Invesco S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF SPLV, iShares MSCI Global Min Vol Factor ETF ACWV and Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF SPHD.

The variant was first detected in South Africa with numerous mutations (more than 30) to the spike protein (as stated in a CNBC article). The omicron variant has now been reported in the U.K., Israel, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Australia and Hong Kong. Going on, the World Health Organization (WHO) has labeled the variant as a “variant of concern.” At least 70 countries and territories are believed to have put travel restrictions from several African countries to control the outbreak, per a CNN report.

The coronavirus outbreak is aggravating in some parts of Europe, largely due to the cold weather conditions. Various measures are being taken to curtail the spread, which might again impact the economic recovery achieved so far from the pandemic-led slump. For instance, a 30-day state of emergency has been declared along with several new restrictions in the Czech Republic. In fact, Austria has imposed at least a 10-day-long national lockdown to fight the resurgence. Considering the current situation, the WHO has issued a warning that Europe and Central Asia could witness another 700,000 COVID-19 deaths by Mar 1, 2022, per a Euronews article.

Weak U.S. consumer sentiment might also contribute to the market carnage. U.S. consumers have clearly remained worried about rising prices, as reflected by the surging inflation levels. The latest consumer sentiment readings for November look very disappointing as the metric has slipped to the lowest level in a decade compared to the previous month. The University of Michigan’s final consumer sentiment declined to 67.4 during November from 71.7 in October. Now, the rise in concerns related to the new variant can also dent consumer spending further and increase supply-chain disruptions.
