Amid uncertainty, traders looked to a wide range of sectors for upside.
Utilities
Trader Tim Seymour believes the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund could rise as investors look for value. The fund climbed 1.5 percent Tuesday.
Telecom
He also outlined the iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF as a possible value play. It has fallen nearly 10 percent this year.
Small caps
The iShares Russell 2000 ETF has taken a beating this year, falling more than 12 percent. Still, Seymour said he would use it as a way to hedge his portfolio.
Commodities stocks
Shares of Freeport-McMoRan and Marathon Oil have each plummeted more than 70 percent in the last year amid low commodities prices. Trader Pete Najarian said he owns put options in both and would continue to bet against them as oil prices struggle to stabilize.
U.S. Treasurys
The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF looks like a "no-brainer" in current conditions, said trader Brian Kelly. The fund is up about 4 percent this year.
