Notable ETF Movers of the Day 11/25: (XLF) (UUP) (IYR) Higher; (BAC) (VXX) (EWZ) Lower

• Financial Select Sector SPDR (NYSE: XLF) up 1.36 percent to $11.91. U.S. financials are trading higher Friday, as some mixed news from Europe is making its way overseas. Italian bonds surged following a weak near-term sale, but a German business confidence index reported a couple of clicks higher in November, and much higher than expectations. The move is being led by Citigroup (NYSE: C), which is 2.7 percent better on the session.
  
  
• PowerShares DB US Dollar Index Bullish (NYSE: UUP) up 0.49 percent to $22.40. The U.S. dollar is higher Friday, as Fitch downgraded Portugal and Moody's lowered Hungary to junk.
  
  
• iShares Dow Jones US Real Estate (NYSE: IYR) up 1.94 percent to $52.42. Real estate stocks are moving higher on reports that U.S. financial institutions might begin trimming mortgage servicing operations. Banks include BofA (NYSE: BAC), Citi, JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), and others.

• Guggenheim Solar (NYSE: TAN) down 1.41 percent to $2.79. The move lower is being highlighted by Yingi Green Energy (NYSE: YGE), which may be recovering from a near-12 percent rise Wednesday atop earnings and plans to increase its PV market share in China by 5 percent to 30 percent overall. Yingli is 4.6 percent lower Friday, though trading volume looks to be just about average.
  
  
• iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (NYSE: VXX) down 0.23 percent to $48.49. The CBOE VIX is just about flat on the session as U.S. markets are rather complacent on the shortened Friday trading session. Though some mixed news out of Europe is still driving concerns, many are hoping for more robust holiday spending.
  
  
• iShares MSCI Brazil Index (NYSE: EWZ) down 1.31 percent to $54.27. Brazilian stocks are taking even more of a hit than the U.S. on Europe news Friday. No other news from China or the U.S. is really causing a shift in direction for Brazil stocks. The Ibovespa is 0.5 percent lower Friday.
