ETF Scorecard - November 6th Edition

Kiril NikolaevNov 06, 2015
2015-11-06

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.

As a side note, the weekly performance is from last Friday’s open to this week’s Thursday close.

  • The last couple of days were volatile, but overall U.S. equities continued their rally this week.
  • Earnings are still in the spotlight, with Facebook and Ralph Lauren Corp. beating expectations. These good earnings this week are partly why stocks rallied.
  • The ADP Non-Farm Employment Change report released on Wednesday shows a slow down in the number of newly employed people during the previous month. The figure is at 182,000 new employees vs. the revised and lowered forecast consensus of 183,000.
  • Unemployment claims released Thursday were more than expected at 276,000 vs. the expected figure of 263,000.
  • Most emerging markets have enjoyed the rally this week as well.
