How The World Cup Can Deliver Short-Term Outperformance
Goal! These 9 ETFs Are a Way to Invest in World Cup Fever
Tom Essaye, author of The Sevens Report market newsletter, noted on Thursday that the World Cup “could potentially deliver short-term outperformance” for the economies of the host nations of the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
The iShares MSCI Mexico ETF and iShares MSCI Canada ETF could be good bets on a macro lift for these host countries, Essaye said. Essaye also noted that stocks based in the countries of World Cup winners may be a winning trade too.
Essaye added that there could be “ripple effects on particular corners of the stock market.” Essaye pointed to the Roundhill Sports Betting & iGaming ETF, which owns DraftKings and Flutter as top 10 holdings as well as several casino companies.
