Nonfarm payrolls increased by 177,000, beating comfortably the 130,000 forecast by economists and almost doubling the 90,000 predicted by Kalshi betting markets. 
Average hourly earnings, however, slowed to 0.2% month-over-month from 0.3% in March, barely missing consensus forecasts.
The outcome? A tight labor market without overheating provides the Federal Reserve and markets a bit more room to breathe. For the financial sector in particular, an unusually favorable balance of stability and opportunity has emerged from the current conditions.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">ETF Watch: Who Wins?</h1>
With job growth still being maintained but wage pressures dissipating, a number of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">financial sector ETFs</a> may ride the macro tailwinds:
Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>)
The heavyweight of financial ETFs, XLF follows blue-chip stocks such as JPMorgan Chase &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JPM#NYSE">JPM</a>), Wells Fargo &amp; Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WFC#NYSE">WFC</a>), and Goldman Sachs Group Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GS#NYSE">GS</a>). Sectoral employment growth in financial activities (continued growth in April) indicates underlying strength, and subdued wage growth increases profitability and cools inflation risk, a net benefit to big banks with wide exposure.
SPDR S&amp;P Bank ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBE#NYSE">KBE</a>) Thie ETF provides equal-weighted exposure to large as well as regional banks. With the slower wage growth, consumer spending might be hit, forcing prices down (read: inflation). The Fed might consider continuing the pause, or even turn back on, rate increases. Regional banks could feel the boost of a rebound in loan demand and reduced funding costs.
Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KBWD#NASDAQ">KBWD</a>) This ETF has a tilt toward high-yielding financials such as REITs and business development companies. Lower inflation expectations render its dividend-rich holdings more appealing in real terms, while decelerating wage inflation contributes to supporting payout sustainability.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Why This Labor Market Arrangement Works For Financials</h1>
The market response isn&#8217;t all about employment numbers, it&#8217;s about the &#8220;goldilocks&#8221; combination they generate.
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Reduced Inflation Expectations: Slower wage growth typically means softer consumer spending, which then lowers inflationary pressure. That&#8217;s a good thing for banks, which rely on stable inflation to inform lending decisions and determine interest rate margins.</li>
<li>More Favorable Rate Outlook: If the Fed perceives wages moderating, it might delay further rate increases, or even begin lowering them. For banks, declining interest rates can fuel a flood of new consumer debt, mortgage requests and corporate loans — the stuff of bank profits.</li>
<li>Firming Corporate Margins: Slower wage growth equals lower input costs. That&#8217;s a good thing for banks, and any financial institution with exposure to corporate bonds or equity markets, too. Higher margins lower credit risk and increase investment returns.</li>
<li>Lower Labor Costs: Yes, even the financial industry experiences wage pressure. With labor expenses stabilizing, internal margins rise, providing CFOs and asset managers with more room to breathe. </li>
</ul>
The Macro Signal: Stability Without Stagnation
April&#8217;s figures indicate a labor market that&#8217;s strong in all the right areas. Health care, transportation, and finance created jobs, while government payrolls declined as it restructures. The unemployment rate remained at 4.2%, indicating labor demand remains robust, even as the Fed&#8217;s inflation battle slows the wage engine.
For investors, it is time to re-examine where the smart money goes next. With an economy that continues to grow but inflation retrenches, financial ETFs might be quietly positioning for outperformance — particularly those well-situated to profit from increasing credit activity, more stable margins, and leaner labor expenses.
The market did not roar following the jobs report — but it did not need to. For financials, a subtle beat might reverberate louder than any rally.

Jobs Up, Wages Down: Financial ETFs May Have Just Found Their Sweet Spot

Hunting for the perfect dividend stocks for your portfolio can be a challenging aspect of diversification. An easy way to mitigate these issues is by purchasing an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that invests in high-yielding stocks that fit your strategy.
The pros of investing in a dividend ETF:
<ul>
<li>Annual shareholder distributions</li>
<li>Lower volatility</li>
<li>Investment strategies that meet your goals and needs.</li>
</ul>
The cons? The average market price returns and net asset value returns are typically low as the volatility in these stocks is not as high.
Here are two ETFs primarily investing in emerging markets and small-cap financial dividend stocks:

(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/vale#NYSE">VALE</a>) at 9.37%, and its top <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-sectors-to-invest-in-right-now/">sector</a> is in financials, equating to roughly 27% of the securities owned.
<h3>Invesco</h3>
Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kbwd#NASDAQ">KBWD</a>) is offering a dividend yield of 10.63% or $1.78 per share annually, making monthly payments, with a five-year average market price return of 3.10%. The Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF is based on the KBW Nasdaq Financial Sector Dividend Yield Index.
The fund generally will invest at least 90% of its total assets in the securities of publicly listed financial companies with competitive dividend yields, while being rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly, in the United States and that comprise the Index.
As of June 30, 2022, the Invesco ETF had $2.3 billion in assets under management.

2 High-Yielding Dividend ETFs That May Help Diversify Your Investment Strategy

Since August interest rates have been moving higher. The 10-year U.S. Treasury Note&rsquo;s yield has moved from 60 basis points to 1.6%.
On a historical basis, this is still very low. Investors seeking income may have better choices than buying treasuries.
Some ETFs are structured to pay high dividends. These include the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/jepi#NYSE">JEPI</a>), the Global X SuperDividend U.S. ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/div#NYSE">DIV</a>), and the Invesco KBW High Dividend Yield Financial ETF (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/kbwd#NASDAQ">KBWD</a>). All three are&nbsp;paying dividends that yield more than 6%.

The JP Morgan Income ETF generates income buy selling options and investing in high yielding large-cap stocks. It&#39;s currently yielding about 7.7%.

<img alt="div.png" src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/u344550/div.png" style="height:400px; width:540px" /> 
The Invesco High Yield Dividend ETF invests at least 90% of its assets in publicly traded companies with high dividend yields. The&nbsp;yield is about 6.90%.

3 Of The Best Dividend ETFs For 2021

Given that the Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-A) equity portfolio is currently comprised of more than 40 securities, many investors face a daunting task when it comes to playing copycat on Warren Buffett's individual stock picks.

	Since many folks do not have the capital to own 40-plus positions for size, ETFs have <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/12/10/3031444/beating-buffett-with-etfs">previously been highlighted as an efficient way</a> for investors to get wide-ranging exposure to the stocks Berkshire holds.

	In fact, ETFs are a remarkably efficient way of playing alongside Buffett. An ETF such as the SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/dia#NYSE">DIA</a>) along with consumer staples and financial services sector funds will help retail investors gain exposure to the bulk of Berkshire Hathaway's holdings. There is a rub when constructing a Berkshire ETF portfolio and it is this: The ETF ideas most frequently tossed as the best ways of mimicking Buffett lack originality.

	That is not say the ideas themselves are not accurate. Looking at Berkshire's <a href="http://whalewisdom.com/filer/berkshire-hathaway-inc">equity holdings at the end of the fourth quarter</a>, it is easy to see the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/xlp#NYSE">XLP</a>) and the iShares Dow Jones U.S. Financial Sector Index Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/iyf#NYSE">IYF</a>), among other ETFs, were fine ideas for getting exposure to plenty of Berkshire holdings.

	However, investors could have done better, at least in the first quarter, by putting more emphasis on the sectors in which Berkshire's holdings lie, rather than focusing on the ETFs that allocate large portions of their weights to so-called Buffett stocks. Here are some examples.

	First Trust Consumer Staples AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/fxg#NYSE">FXG</a>) 
	XLP makes for a great, low-cost way of accessing plenty of Berkshire's equity holdings. The largest consumer staples ETF is the second-cheapest with an expense ratio of just 0.18 percent per year and half of the ETF's top-10 holdings are also Berkshire holdings. Those stocks are Procter &amp; Gamble (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/pg#NYSE">PG</a>), Coca-Cola (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ko#NYSE">KO</a>), Wal-Mart (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/wmt#NYSE">WMT</a>), Kraft (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/krft#NASDAQ">KRFT</a>) and Costco (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/krft#NASDAQ">KRFT</a>).

	Additionally, <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/13/03/3447304/risk-on-rally-these-etfs-say-no">staples have been a leadership group</a> for a significant part of this rally, so it is hard to quibble with the 14.5 percent XLP returned in the first quarter. That is until an investor hears about the First Trust Consumer Staples AlphaDEX Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/fxg#NYSE">FXG</a>).

	FXG is weighted based on growth and value metrics, not market capitalization. In other words, FXG may be home to a few of Berkshire's staples holdings, but they are not large parts of the ETF. For example, Procter &amp; Gamble <a href="http://www.ftportfolios.com/Retail/Etf/EtfHoldings.aspx?Ticker=FXG">does not even account for 0.8 percent of FXG's weight</a>. The difference was clear in Q1 when FXG returned 21 percent while only being slightly more volatile than XLP.

	Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/vfh#NYSE">VFH</a>) 
	Buffett's affinity for financial services stocks is well-known. Berkshire's lineup included stakes in American Express (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/axp#NYSE">AXP</a>), Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/bk#NYSE">BK</a>), MasterCard (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ma#NYSE">MA</a>), US Bancorp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/usb#NYSE">USB</a>) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/wfc#NYSE">WFC</a>), among others at the end of Q4. The company's first-quarter 13F will show a stake in Goldman Sachs (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/gs#NYSE">GS</a>) after Berkshire recently exchanged warrants for a smaller equity stake in the venerable Wall Street bank.

	Those holdings and others would make investors IYF or the the Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/xlf#NYSE">XLF</a>) would be the best ways of playing alongside Buffett in this sector. In the first quarter, the best choice was actually the Vanguard Financials ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/vfh#NYSE">VFH</a>). VFH is similar in terms of holdings to XLF, though the Vanguard offering was the better Q1 performer while also being less volatile.

	Investors looking to go in a different direction can consider the PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/kbwd#NYSE">KBWD</a>). That ETF is home to mortgage REITs and business development companies along with traditional banks and exchange operators. There are no Berkshire holdings in KBWD, but that did not matter in Q1 as the ETF returned 14.6 percent. KBWD was also less volatile and pays a monthly dividend, something other financial services ETFs cannot say.

	PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/pbs#NYSE">PBS</a>) 
	The caveat here is that the PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio does not represent an alternative to another ETF that is a way of accessing Buffett media stocks. Rather, the PowerShares Dynamic Media Portfolio is THE way of gaining exposure to the legendary investor's media stakes, which included Gannett (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/gci#NYSE">GCI</a>) and Starz (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/strza#NASDAQ">STRZA</a>) at the end of the first quarter.

	Those are the Berkshire holdings that are also found in PBS, though Buffett's firm has stakes in several other media companies. Of the ETFs highlighted in this piece, only FXG beat the 17.5 percent returned by PBS in the first quarter. Investors should note PBS does devote about 10 percent of its weight to "un-Buffett" stocks Yahoo (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/yhoo#NASDAQ">YHOO</a>) and Google (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/goog#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>).

Expedia (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/expe#NASDAQ">EXPE</a>) has seen a couple of analyst downgrades recently despite forecasts for continued strong growth.

Ferrellgas Partners (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/fgp#NYSE">FGP</a>) exceeded earning and sales estimates in the most recent quarter, due in part to cost cutting efforts.

Even with the S&amp;P 500's recent five-day losing streak, the universe of exchange-traded products with dividend yields resting in the double digits is sparsely populated. Running a simple screen for ETFs and ETNs with yields of over 9% turns up less than 15 names.

Since yield plays are often used by investors that plan to hold those securities for extended time horizons, we pulled the UBS E-TRACS 2x Long Alerian MLP Infrastructure ETN (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/mlpl#NYSE">MLPL</a>) from the group since holding high-fee leveraged ETFs for months or years is punitive on the cost front.

That leaves us with an even smaller pool of double-digit ETF/ETN yields to draw from. Some members of the pool are worth a look. Others have high yields for a reason and the reason isn't good, so they should be avoided.

Market Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF (NYSE: MORT)
The Market Vectors Mortgage REIT Income ETF, which debuted in August 2011, has tumbled almost 4% in the past month due in part to some less-than-impressive housing data and the year-to-date performance is middling. That said, MORT does feature a juicy 10.4% yield with a fair expense ratio of just 0.4%, according to the Market Vectors Web site, meaning long-term investors can cozy up to this ETF without having to worry about high fees.

Annaly Capital (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/nly#NYSE">NLY</a>) and American Capital Agency (Nadsaq: AGNC) represent almost a third of MORT's weight. MORT is a direct rival to the iShares FTSE NAREIT Mortgage Plus Capped Index Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/rem#NYSE">REM</a>), though the Market Vectors offering features a lower expense ratio.

iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ewp#NYSE">EWP</a>)
Today's jump of over 3% for the iShares MSCI Spain Index Fund is helping suppress the ETF's yield somewhat, keeping it just below 10%. The cold, harsh reality with EWP is that despite what looks like an attractive yield, this ETF is now more useful for traders than investors. EWP's yield has <a href="http://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/long-ideas/11/12/2223305/the-dark-side-of-yield-hunting-forget-these-etfs">nearly doubled</a> since we warned about the fund being a yield trap.

Now there are valid concerns that Spain might be the next of the PIIGS to be bailed out. EWP's chart is a disaster and the yield is a trap.

PowerShares KBW High Dividend Yield Financial Portfolio (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/kbwd#NYSE">KBWD</a>)
As is the case with many ETFs tracking bank stocks, KBWD got off to a fine start this year, but has retreated a bit in recent days. The pullback has sent this fund's ETF over 10%, but KBWD is designed to sport an elevated yield because its index is calculated using a dividend yield methodology, according to PowerShares.

Currently home to 36 stocks, KBWD isn't heavy on bank stocks, though the ETF is home to several regional names. Rather, KBWD focuses primarily on mortgage REITs such as American Agency and Inveco Mortgage Capital (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/ivr#NYSE">IVR</a>). Avoid KBWD if REITs don't jibe with your investment objectives or if the ETF violates support at $22.75.

PowerShares S&amp;P 500 BuyWrite ETF (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="/stock/pbp#NYSE">PBP</a>)
PBP was yielding a hair over 10% at the start of trading today. The fund currently holds 501 stocks and writes covered calls on those positions to generate returns. The ETF reinvests dividends from the underlying stocks as well as the premiums from the call options, according to <a href="http://news.investors.com/Article.aspx?id=607091&amp;ibdbot=1&amp;p=2">Investor's Business Daily</a>. The options activity leaves PBP with an expense ratio of 0.75%, which is something to be aware of.
