FYI: Options traders are piling into one of the biggest exchange-traded funds tracking emerging markets, paying up for options that would profit if the fund advances.
The $27 billion iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF EEM -0.38% has risen about 12% this year. It tracks companies such as Samsung Electronics Co. , Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Tencent Holdings Ltd.
Emerging-markets shares recently got a lift from easing trade tensions between the U.S. and China. Still, the sector faces headwinds and valuations aren’t particularly cheap, The Wall Street Journal reported recently.
