Winners and Losers

Major market ETFs, including the SPY, DIA, UYG and others, are lower. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 have gained over four straight sessions and the Dow Jones Industrial Average has advanced in three of four days. Stocks gained in part on Thursday as the ECB and Bank of England left interest rates at accommodative levels, not following the move of Australia, which raised rates. But U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said late Thursday the Fed will reverse course and tighten policy when the economic outlook improves sufficiently.

The PowerShares QQQ (QQQQ), which tracks the technology-studded Nasdaq Composite, is down 0.4%. Technology Select Sector SPDR (XLK) is down 0.4%. iShares U.S. Technology (IYW) should see increased interest closer to the opening bell. iShares S&P North American Technology Semiconductor (IGW) and Semiconductor HOLDRs (SMH) could see increased interest closer to the bell.

Select Financial Sector SPDRS (XLF) is down 0.5%. The Direxion Financial Bull 3X fund (FAS) is down 0.9%; its bearish counterpart, FAZ, is up 1%.
