Major Index Review
While tech giant Amazon reported stellar earnings, other less-than-stellar reports have weighed down the major indexes across the board. The Dow Jones Industrial led all losers in the trailing five-day period with a -1.87% yield after Caterpillar reported weak quarterly earnings.
Foreign Equity Review
Brazil, Russia, and China continued to plummet as all of their one-month returns are -5.58% or worse. All emerging market, country ETFs ended in the red this week, while only India had a positive month.
Commodities Review
Another negative week for all commodities ETFs leaves only natural gas with a positive, trailing one-month return. Copper leads all losers, shedding 5.21% on the week.
Currency Review
The Euro and Yen ETFs logged in positive five-day returns amid a slip in the U.S. dollar. However, the U.S. dollar fund is still positive over the trailing month, with a 1.64% return.
