There were no changes to the suite of DWS models this week, so we’ll look at the Xtrackers MSCI EAFE Hedged Equity ETF (DBEF). International equities continued their strong 2025 with a hot start to 2026 with both developed and emerging markets doing well. DBEF trades on three consecutive buy signals dating back to 2025 and has been in a positive trend since November 2020. DBEF is currently trading at all-time highs but is actionable at current levels with a weekly overbought/oversold reading of 42%. Along with its strong technical picture and 4.18 fund score, DBEF also offers a yield of 5.54%, so it’s also a viable option for growth and income investors.

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.
