Apple, Alibaba Top This Week’s Biggest ETF Stories

U.S. stocks endured the first weekly loss in six weeks. Gold continued to careen while the U.S. dollar continued to impress.

Those issues loomed large this week, but there was more. Much, much more. Alibaba had its initial public offering road show and has ceased taking orders for that widely anticipated IPO. The U.S. and Europe bolstered economic sanctions and Apple (NasdaqGS: AAPL) unveiled a new iPhone, a watch and a new mobile payments platform.

With that, we turn to the biggest ETF stories of the week.
