2 ETFs to Watch for Outsized Volume on Government Bonds and Healthcare

In the last trading session, Wall Street posted solid gains. Among the top ETFs, SPY gained 1.9%, DIA gained 2.1% and QQQ moved 1.8% higher on the day.

Two more specialized ETFs are worth noting as both saw trading volume that was far outside of normal. In fact, both these funds experienced volume levels that were more than double their average for the most-recent trading session. This could make these ETFs ones to watch out for in the days ahead to see if this trend of extra-interest continues.
