ETF Scorecard - April 10th Edition

Stoyan BojinovApr 10, 2015

To help investors keep up with markets, we present our ETF Scorecard, which takes a step back and looks at how various asset classes across the globe are performing.

Major equity benchmarks have been struggling to resume their upward ascent over the past week as two key developments have clashed. On the tailwind side, investors cheered on a disappointing monthly jobs report at the beginning of the week (in light of the markets being closed on Good Friday) as it spurred hopes that the Fed would delay its decision to hike rates.

Foreign Equity Review

China equities have been the runaway leader in this group from both a weekly as well as a monthly returns perspective, whereas developed markets like Japan, Australia, Germany, and the UK have been serial laggards:

Commodities Review

Crude oil prices were the biggest gainer on the week whereas natural gas posted the steepest losses by far:

Currency Review

The U.S. dollar and the Aussie dollar posted the biggest gains for the week, although emerging markets currencies are the biggest winner by far from a monthly perspective:
