The recent rally in the U.S. stock market has not stalled despite a slew of worries. March rate hike concerns, growing fears over U.S. trade policies, doubt over Trump’s promised plan implementation and expensive valuation have sparked off risk aversion.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average extended its winning streak for the eleventh consecutive day, marking the longest streak since 1987. Also, the S&P 500 logged in the fifth consecutive weekly gains. Utilities, gold, high-dividend stocks, and other safe haven avenues led the way higher last week.

Given this, we have highlighted four top-performing ETFs and stocks of last week. Any of these could be strong momentum plays for investors ahead of Trump’s address to Congress on February 28.
