Oil prices also play a major role here as transportation and fuel are intertwined. This transportation ETF is particularly interesting to enter just after a slowdown in the economy. With market conditions improving this transportation ETF will rise simultaneously. Beware of slumps in the economy as this transportation ETF will go down too and most often for years to come.
