Market Correction: The ETFs I'd Buy Without Hesitation
2026-06-02 17:52:00 ET
Despite lots of uncertainty and even some headwinds this year, the stock market continues to set new all-time highs. The benchmark S&P 500 has hit 7,580 as of this writing and is up roughly 10.5% this year. That's pretty impressive, considering concerns investors were starting to express about artificial intelligence (AI) earlier this year, higher oil and gas prices due to the Iran war, and rising bond yields over concerns about the economy.
The market still faces these potential obstacles, and the near-term uncertainty remains. That suggests investors should be prepared for a market correction (a major index like the S&P 500 falling at least 10% from a recent peak). These corrections are actually more common than investors might think.
While long-term investors don't necessarily need to adjust their portfolios, if investors are interested in adding some protection, here are the two exchange-traded funds (ETFs) I would buy without hesitation.
