To help investors keep up with the markets, we present our ETF Scorecard. The Scorecard takes a step back and looks at how various asset classes across the globe are performing.
Major equity indexes remain in a choppy uptrend in light of mixed developments taking place at home and abroad. On the tailwind side, encouraging growth readings out of the eurozone promise better days ahead. On the headwind side, however, fears of rising rates in the U.S. have led to steep sell-offs in bonds all over the globe, translating into uncertainty for equity investors.
