There were no changes to the suite of DWS models this week, so we’ll look at the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE High Dividend Yield Equity ETF (HDEF). HDEF, not considering its high dividend, is a technically strong name with a 4.27 fund score and trades on four consecutive buy signals on its $0.25 chart. HDEF pulled back at the end of August into more actionable territory and has a weekly overbought/oversold reading of 41%. With a solid technical backdrop, HDEF also offers a yield of 4.05%, which makes it a viable option for those looking for international and/or equity income exposure. From current levels, HDEF has support offered at $28.50 and $28.25.

The table below is a review of important technical data on a select group of DWS Xtrackers ETFs. Significant changes within the past week are highlighted in Green if positive or Red if negative. This portfolio is designed to be used as a "radar" screen to bring your attention to potentially important technical changes that may require your attention and potential action. When evaluating the Fund Score, the strongest issues have scores of 4 or higher while those ETFs with scores below a 3 are no longer considered solid citizens.

The ETFs with the most relative strength buy signals (suggesting outperformance) versus the others in the group are listed at the top. These ETFs should be overweighted in the portfolio. Those ETFs with the least amount of relative strength buy signals versus the others in the group are listed at the bottom. These ETFs should be underweighted in the portfolio.
