Symbols: XLE, EWZ, XLB, DUG, ILF

Emerging markets, basic materials and energy shares were on the rebound on Friday, bringing gains to those exchange-traded funds providing traders with exposure to these markets.


The rallies in basic materials and energy stocks have also provided for pullbacks in a number of short and leveraged short exchange-traded funds that are trading above their 200-day moving averages. These rallies have also resulted in a number of overbought ETFs, that traders may want to be wary of in the near-term.


Here are 7 ETFs You Need to Know for Monday
