Walmart Snaps 10-Day Losing Streak: It's Longest Since 2004, As Profit-Takers Step Aside

Abercrombie &amp; Fitch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANF#NYSE">ANF</a>) might have just executed one of the trendier turnarounds in recent retail history. Shares of the company jumped more than 30% on Wednesday after it posted <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45643292/abercrombie-fitch-shares-surge-but-lowers-outlook-despite-q1-beat-due-to-tariffs">better-than-expected first-quarter results</a> and upped its full-year sales forecast range. 
Vintage T-shirts and printed jeans may be hot with Gen Z, but Abercrombie&#8217;s bottom line was the real seasonal surprise.
Yet, despite the eye-catching move in the stock, the impact on <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">retail-focused ETFs</a> was less runway-ready.
The SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>), ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>), and Amplify Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBUY#NYSE">IBUY</a>) barely flinched in the aftermath of Abercrombie's earnings beat. The reason is simple: Abercrombie &amp; Fitch doesn't carry enough weight in these ETFs to move the needle.
It&#8217;s a textbook instance of a top solo performer in a large lineup. Abercrombie is performing well, but retail ETFs are typically diversified among dozens of names, several of which aren&#8217;t exhibiting the same level of momentum.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Small-Cap Funds Could Be The True Winners</h1>
Investors in search of ETF vehicles that truly experienced the glow of Abercrombie&#8217;s breakout may wish to look at the small-cap category. Vehicles such as the iShares Core S&amp;P Small-Cap ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IJR#NYSE">IJR</a>) and the Vanguard Small-Cap Value ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VBR#NYSE">VBR</a>) provide comparatively higher exposure to the apparel retailer.
Abercrombie is a top-10 holding in IJR, and its outsized move can give a modest lift to fund performance, though still dampened by the broader small-cap environment. VBR also holds Abercrobmie, indicating the company&#8217;s reclassification as a value stock amid strengthening fundamentals.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">What Abercrombie&#8217;s Numbers Mean For The Sector</h1>
The firm reported first-quarter net sales of $1.10 billion, surpassing forecasts of $1.07 billion. Comparable sales for its Hollister brand jumped 23% — a testament that recent product refreshes are resonating among teens and pre-teens. However, it also reduced full-year profit guidance due to continuing tariff pressures.
Abercrombie&#8217;s refusal to abandon its store growth strategy and increase marketing for the summer quarter implies that management thinks the brand is still trending, despite macroeconomic conditions remaining patchy.
Shoppers are still willing to pay for brands that are getting the product-market fit right.
Abercrombie&#8217;s rally might not have put a shockwave into broad retail ETFs, but it&#8217;s a reminder that stock-specific victories in the apparel sector can be harbingers of larger style changes, both in consumer activity and in ETF exposure tactics.
Abercrombie&#8217;s profits remind us that apparel retail is not a homogeneous investment category. Though the brand&#8217;s rebound has minimal impact on most mainstream ETFs, it can be enriching quietly in small-cap and value funds. 
For ETF investors, the takeaway might be: fashion trends happen overnight, but being fashionable with your portfolio means taking a closer peek at what&#8217;s inside the fund.

Abercrombie Is Hot Again — Here's Why Your Retail ETF Didn't Get The Memo

President Donald Trump has sparked fear again of an all-out trade war, causing shockwaves in the stock market and leaving investors in the dark. In a post on Truth Social, Trump directly targeted tech giant Apple (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), threatening a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45584696/trump-threatens-tim-cook-to-manufacture-iphones-in-the-us-or-face-at-least-25-tariffs">25% tariff on iPhones produced outside America</a>. Not resting there, he threatened a sweeping<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45585283/trump-tariff-threat-hits-europe-stocks-sink-as-50-duties-loom"> 50% tariff on all imports from the European Union</a> beginning June 1.
Although it is uncertain if Trump can unilaterally impose company-specific tariffs, the markets didn&#8217;t wait for answers. Apple stocks fell almost 3% on Friday trading, and investors are now left wondering how to rebalance their portfolios if protectionism returns.

Tech ETFs: Industry Giants In The Crosshairs
Trump&#8217;s words shone a bright light on Apple, which constitutes meaningful portions of most <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">technology ETFs</a>. The Technology Select Sector SPDR Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLK#NYSE">XLK</a>) holds more than 12.5% in Apple, and the Vanguard Information Technology ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGT#NYSE">VGT</a>) and Invesco QQQ Trust (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/QQQ#NASDAQ">QQQ</a>) also hold 17.2% and 7.7% respectively.
Investors seeking to trim their exposure to Apple-focused funds could look to diversified global tech ETFs or equal-weight rivals that soften concentration risk. The iShares Global Tech ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IXN#NYSE">IXN</a>) can be a good choice. Despite having significant exposure to Apple, the fund dedicates around 20% of its portfolio to international tech stocks.
Retail Rout? ETFs Exposed to Walmart and Amazon
Retailing behemoths Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>) and Amazon are also in Trump&#8217;s sights. Last week, Walmart suggested it might have to raise prices because of higher tariff costs. Trump responded, telling the retailer to &#8220;eat the tariffs.&#8221;
The SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>), whose holdings include both Walmart and Amazon, may experience more volatility. 
European Exposure On The Edge
A 50% tariff on EU imports, if invoked, would be one of the toughest trade policies in recent U.S.-EU relations. ETFs with high European exposure, such as the iShares Europe ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IEV#NASDAQ">IEV</a>), SPDR EURO STOXX 50 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FEZ#NYSE">FEZ</a>), and Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VGK#NYSE">VGK</a>), now find themselves under the scanner.
EU leaders have already proposed a $108 billion retaliatory tariff package, raising further uncertainty. For investors, this also poses questions regarding currency risk, macro exposure, and the durability of European equities.
Inverse ETFs such as the ProShares Short MSCI EAFE (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EFZ#NYSE">EFZ</a>) or currency-hedged ETFs like the iShares Currency Hedged MSCI EMU ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HEZU#NYSE">HEZU</a>) could provide short-term defensive opportunities for those who see turmoil coming.
Made-In-America ETFs: A Patriotic Pivot?
If <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45584696/trump-threatens-tim-cook-to-manufacture-iphones-in-the-us-or-face-at-least-25-tariffs">Trump&#8217;s tariff threats</a> push corporations to bring manufacturing back to the U.S., a new class of ETFs could benefit. Funds like the ARK Autonomous Technology &amp; Robotics ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ARKQ#BATS">ARKQ</a>) and 3D Printing ETF (BATS:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PRNT#BATS">PRNT</a>) focus on American innovation and reshoring trends. These could gain momentum now.
Bottom Line
As Trump again heats up tariff rhetoric, ETF investors should prepare for a possible second installment of trade war drama. Whether hedging against exposure, playing rotation into domestic names, or diversifying out of vulnerable sectors, the moment to prepare may be at hand. Because in this political market theater, even passive investors must remain actively vigilant.

Trump Targets EU, Apple With Tariff Threats: ETFs Could Feel The Heat

The U.S. House of Representatives passed one of the most expansive tax-and-spending bills in modern history, setting the stage for a multi-trillion-dollar shift in federal deficits and sector <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/05/45564489/trumps-big-tax-bill-clears-the-house-30-year-yields-jump-to-515-as-bond-market-freaks">dynamics over the next decade.</a>
The legislation is projected to balloon the federal deficit by over $3 trillion between 2025 and 2034, according to preliminary estimates from the Congressional Budget Office. The fiscal impact will peak around 2027, when the bulk of the temporary spending programs and tax cuts kick in.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Fiscal Alarm Bells Ring On Wall Street</h1>
Analysts at the bipartisan federal agency warn that such a sharp increase comes at a time when U.S. debt is already on an unsustainable trajectory.
"Adding more than $3 trillion to the debt when our nation's finances are already on an unsustainable path would be unwise," the CBO stated. 
"Lawmakers should go back to the drawing board and work on a bill that reduces deficits, not adds to them."
Spencer Hakimian, founder of Tolou Capital warned that with the bill's passage, markets should brace for permanent emergency-style stimulus and $4 trillion annual deficits within a few years.
"This is COVID-style spending — without the pandemic," Hakimian said in a post on X.
Goldman Sachs' economist Alec Phillips highlighted that Moody's recent U.S. credit rating downgrade was influenced by the bill's trajectory, stating, "Markets are already attuned to fiscal risks… early August remains our base case for enactment."
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">How The House Tax Bill Could Shake Up Different Sectors</h1>
According to CBO projections, the bill increases the deficit in three key government areas — meaning more spending is likely ahead:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Judiciary: $7 billion (deficit increase)</li>
<li>Armed Services: $144 billion</li>
<li>Homeland Security: $67 billion</li>
</ul>
This suggests significant boosts to military procurement, border enforcement and law enforcement infrastructure. These sectors could benefit from rising federal contracts and equipment orders, with likely beneficiaries including the iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ITA#NYSE">ITA</a>) and the First Trust Nasdaq Cybersecurity ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CIBR#NASDAQ">CIBR</a>).
At the core of the bill is the Ways &amp; Means Committee, responsible for all tax policy, Social Security, Medicare, unemployment benefits and tariffs. This section alone accounts for $3.775 trillion of the total deficit increase.
Other areas of the budget plan reflect deficit reductions, which generally imply spending cuts or revenue gains. These include:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Energy &amp; Commerce: -988 billion (deficit reduction).</li>
<li>Agriculture: -$238 billion</li>
<li>Education &amp; Workforce: -$349 billion</li>
<li>Financial Services: -$5 billion</li>
<li>Natural Resources: -$20 billion</li>
<li>Oversight &amp; Government Reform: -$51 billion</li>
<li>Transportation &amp; Infrastructure: -$37 billion</li>
</ul>
Potential ETF losers include Invesco WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PBW#NYSE">PBW</a>), iShares MSCI Agriculture Producers ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VEGI#NYSE">VEGI</a>), and iShares U.S. Transportation ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IYT#NYSE">IYT</a>), given expected cuts to renewables subsidies, rural and transportation programs.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Market Reactions</h1>
Initial market reactions hit the solar and renewables sectors, which suffered the brunt of market fallout. With many solar tax subsidies ended, the Invesco Solar ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TAN#NASDAQ">TAN</a>) fell 9% on Thursday. Among key names:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Sunrun Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RUN#NASDAQ">RUN</a>) collapsed 40%</li>
<li>SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SEDG#NASDAQ">SEDG</a>) dropped 26%</li>
<li>Enphase Energy Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ENPH#NASDAQ">ENPH</a>) fell 19%</li>
<li>First Solar Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FSLR#NASDAQ">FSLR</a>) declined 4%</li>
</ul>
Abigail Ross Hopper, CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association, warned the bill would "upend an economic boom," potentially leading to blackouts and a strategic loss to China in the global AI race.
"This bill is willfully ignorant of the fact that deploying solar and storage is the only way the U.S. power grid can meet demand&#8230; If it becomes law, America will effectively surrender the AI race to China."
In contrast, consumer-related stocks rallied, buoyed by expectations of tax relief and increased household spending power. The SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>) climbed 1.5%, led by Advance Auto Parts (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAP#NYSE">AAP</a>), which soared 42% after a blowout earnings report.
Within tech-focused defense names, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLTR#NASDAQ">PLTR</a>) jumped 4.5%, while cybersecurity leader CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CRWD#NASDAQ">CRWD</a>) gained 2.6%.

Big Tax Cuts, Big Deficits: Wall Street Winners And Losers Emerge

Amidst a week of market volatility, heightened by a weak Treasury auction and a jump in long-term yields, some of America&#8217;s largest retailers posted first-quarter profits that indicate the consumer machine might be slowing. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/etfs">retail proxy ETF market</a>, so hotly followed, is getting shaken. This is how leading funds are positioned in response to the prevailing mood:
VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>): 
Exposure: Market cap-weighted, heavily skewed towards Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>), and Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>).
Impact: RTH could be slightly more durable, given Amazon&#8217;s ongoing e-commerce strength and Walmart&#8217;s focus on essentials. However, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/05/45536218/walmart-responds-to-trumps-eat-the-tariff-remark-worked-to-keep-our-prices-as-low-as-possible-and-we-wont-stop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Walmart&#8217;s tariff warning</a> introduces a risk factor to this fund.
ProShares Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONLN#NYSE">ONLN</a>)
Exposure: Concentrates on digital-native retailers such as Amazon and Chewy (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CHWY#NYSE">CHWY</a>).
Impact: A shift to e-commerce, accelerated by inflation fatigue and convenience demands, could support ONLN. Target and Lowe's are leaning into digital services, which may benefit ONLN's broader theme.
Amplify Online Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IBUY#NYSE">IBUY</a>)
Exposure: A mix of U.S. and global e-commerce platforms. Amazon, Chewy, Wayfair (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/W#NYSE">W</a>) are among its top holdings.
Impact: Legacy players&#8217; renewed emphasis on convenience, expedited delivery, and promotions can drive competition for IBUY and ONLN members—but also affirm the long-term e-retail expansion story.

What&#8217;s Happening In the Retail World?
Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) took the cautionary lead, reducing its full-year earnings estimate to $7.00–$9.00 a share, from an earlier $8.80–$8.90. The firm <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45540759/target-stock-slips-as-q1-earnings-miss-estimates-fy2025-outlook-cut-amid-slowing-sales">fell short of the top- and bottom-line estimates </a>with sales of $23.85 billion that missed the consensus and decreased by 2.79% YoY. Management attributed the marked decline in discretionary spending and the more conservative U.S. consumer. The company stock was down 5.2% on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Lowe's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LOW#NYSE">LOW</a>) narrowly beat earnings expectations with $2.92 per share but posted a 2.03% YOY <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45548489/jpms-take-on-lowes-mixed-q1-highlights-weather-headwinds-and-gross-margin-strength">decline in revenue</a>. The retailer maintained its full-year guidance, signaling steady, if uninspiring, confidence. Its message echoed Target's: high interest rates and economic uncertainty are reshaping consumer priorities. LOW was down 1.7% on Wednesday.
TJX Companies (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/05/45540766/tjx-boosts-q1-sales-with-more-shoppers-says-tariffs-wont-hurt-2026-outlook">stood firm on its perspective</a>, subject to existing tariff rates not changing. That position, though, did little to support shares, which declined 2.8% in tandem with peers. Walmart and Home Depot, in prior comments, emphasized the pricing squeeze of fresh tariffs, with Walmart cautioning for potential increases while Home Depot vowed to cover costs.
Tariffs, Yields, And The Retailer&#8217;s Dilemma
The macro backdrop is compounding retail headwinds. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed toward 4.6% and the 30-year breached 5% after a lackluster $16 billion auction in 20-year bonds, stoking fears of a higher-for-longer rate regime. With borrowing costs elevated, big-ticket purchases and home improvement projects are being shelved, a scenario confirmed by Lowe's soft revenue.
Tariffs are the other elephant in the shopping aisle. Retailers facing Chinese imports are rethinking pricing and supply chain strategies, but consumers have only so much tolerance for higher prices. Walmart&#8217;s caution is in stark contrast with Target&#8217;s vow to keep increases in check, a risk that could strain margins.
A Sector In Search Of A Spark
Retail ETFs continue to be a gauge of consumer spending and attitudes. The prevailing story—declining foot traffic, lagging discretionary sales, and economic conservatism—supports the view that funds such as XRT and RTH could be stuck in their ranges or lag unless attitudes shift or there are earnings surprises.
The bright spots? Retailers doubling down on digital tools, delivery innovation, and loyalty perks may insulate themselves from broader weakness. Investors should watch for ETF managers rebalancing exposure toward more resilient names—especially those boosting digital margins or catering to professional buyers, as Lowe's is attempting.
With warning lights flashing on the U.S. consumer horizon, retail ETFs are taking a hit. Investors would be wise to follow not only earnings, but forward guidance and how retailers are responding. In a more discerning market than ever, the right retail exposure may be the difference-maker.

Shares of retail and apparel stocks are trading higher on reports that China's Commerce Ministry is assessing possible trade talks with the US. Potential trade talks could ease some supply chain and consumer uncertainty in the sector.

The U.S. retail sector is facing potential shortages in key consumer product areas as the ongoing trade war with China leads to a decrease in manufacturing orders and freight bookings, pushing the national supply chain towards a critical point.
What Happened: The U.S. supply chain is nearing a tipping point due to&nbsp;a decline in manufacturing orders&nbsp;and freight vessel bookings from China. Apparel and footwear, sectors heavily dependent on Chinese imports, are particularly at risk. In 2024, China accounted for&nbsp;37% of all U.S. apparel&nbsp;imports and&nbsp;58% of all U.S. footwear&nbsp;imports. The sudden implementation of tariffs left companies with little time to adjust their sourcing strategies, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/24/unsustainable-china-trade-war-retail-shortage-warnings.html">reported </a>CNBC. 
Companies are bracing for a range of impacts, including price increases and wary consumers. Orders for high-value items have spiked in anticipation of price hikes. Supply chain experts predict that lower-end stores, which rely on low-cost imports, will feel the effects of the tariffs most acutely, especially if they maintain lean inventory levels.
Supply chain expert Casey&nbsp;Armstrong predicts&nbsp;the first signs of empty&nbsp;shelves in areas dominated by price-sensitive imports, such as toys, games, back-to-school items, budget home goods, and apparel. He also expects shortages in fast fashion and apparel items, low-cost home goods, and consumer electronics supply like phones, earbuds. 
"These are the canaries in the coal mine of a disrupted supply chain," Armstrong told CNBC.
Meanwhile, Jonathan Gold from the National Retail Federation stated, "The uncertainty around the tariffs is challenging for businesses, especially for small businesses that are currently preparing for critical winter holiday orders."

Why It Matters: The potential retail shortages come in the wake of President Donald Trump&#8216;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/04/44977395/trump-backs-off-firing-powell-after-walmart-target-ceos-warn-him-of-empty-store-shelves">softened </a>stance on his trade war with China, following warnings from top retailers about the risk of empty shelves. Earlier this week, CEOs of major retailers like Walmart (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WMT#NYSE">WMT</a>), Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>), and Home Depot (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/HD#NYSE">HD</a>) met with Trump and warned him of the tightening supply lines due to his trade policies.
Earlier in April, Trump&#8217;s decision to end de minimis exemptions had already put <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/25/04/44640798/trump-ends-de-minimis-exemptions-shopify-bigcommerce-and-lightspeed-face-new-headwinds">e-commerce</a> platforms such as&nbsp;Shopify Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SHOP#NYSE">SHOP</a>),&nbsp;Bigcommerce Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIGC#NASDAQ">BIGC</a>), and&nbsp;Lightspeed Commerce Inc.&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LSPD#NYSE">LSPD</a>) under pressure, making them &#8216;most exposed&#8217; to the ongoing trade tensions.
The looming retail shortages underline the far-reaching impacts of the U.S.-China trade war, affecting not just manufacturing and merchandise but also software and service providers.
SPDR S&amp;P Retail ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XRT#NYSE">XRT</a>) declined nearly 3% over the past month while VanEck Retail ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RTH#NASDAQ">RTH</a>) edged 0.8% lower, according to data from <a href="http://pro.benzinga.com">Benzinga Pro.</a>
