DAX

The March 11 earthquake and tsunami off Sendai, Japan -- and the resulting nuclear disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant -- transformed a strong performance for Q1 equities markets into a gangbusters performance. Renewable energy stocks -- especially wind and solar power companies -- were huge beneficiaries of investors betting that these sectors will fill the void created by a flight from nuclear. 

The EnergyBoom Efficiency Subindex (E•B Efficiency) led all green sector subindices and ETFs and the broad stock market indices this week with an increase of 5.55 percent. Second-best subindex performer was EnergyBoom Solar Subindex (E•B Solar) with a gain of 3.11 percent.
