The SPDR S&P Metals & Mining (P:XME) outperformed all other non-leveraged, non-inverse exchange traded products in the U.S. today on a percentage basis, producing a +2.1% one-day return and outperforming the wider markets by a total of 1.88 percentage points.

Behind The Gains

XME closed today at $33.00 per share, up $0.68 (+2.10%). Putting this move in context, the S&P 500 index — largely considered the most popular and useful benchmark for equity performance — closed up just $0.50 (+0.22%) on the day.

XME’s trading volume today was a total of 4,798,023 shares, which was an increase of 23% versus its average daily trading volume of 3,914,643. Rising trading volume generally an indicator of increased demand for a particular security, and is typically associated with a specific news event or trend that draws investors into or out of specific asset classes, or sectors or subsectors within those classes.

Including any dividends as well as today’s gains, XME has now returned a total of 8.52% year-to-date, versus a 1.44% gain in the S&P 500 during the same timeframe. It’s clear that XME has broken out and is handily outperforming the wider markets now.
