It’s that time again. You’ve no doubt noticed the Christmas displays, the Thanksgiving recipe ideas, the commands to “make your holiday travel plans now!” Here are some exchange traded funds (ETFs) to get you through the season.
The past two years were disappointing for retailers. This year, however, they’ve got their fingers crossed for a turnaround. Mike Lewis for Transworld Business reports that the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC) forecasts that spending this holiday season will be up 3% to 3.5% over last year. If it’s true, it would be the largest increase since 2006. []
Jeff Miller forDiamonds.Net reports that the ICSC is expecting holiday hiring to improve moderately over last year and overall employment growth to improve as well, which in turn should support increased spending. []
Terry Maxon for Dallas News says airlines could be poised to do well this season, too. That’s in part because passenger traffic is up, but it’s also because airlines have scaled back on the number of flights they offer.
