ETF Scorecard - November 13 Edition

Kiril NikolaevNov 13, 2015
2015-11-13

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. The weekly performance is from last Friday’s open to this week’s Thursday close.

  • U.S. markets are down for the week.
  • All major indices, foreign equities and commodities are down for the week
  • The non-farm employment change reported last Friday was better than expected, with 271,000 newly employed people in the market vs. the consensus of 181,000. This didn’t help the market, since now investors are more concerned about the real possibility of a rate hike by the Fed in December.
  • Although the general consensus is the Fed will raise rates, there’s still uncertainty, which is causing volatility in the markets. New York Federal Reserve President Bill Dudley said he’s concerned about low inflation and that “the economy is growing only slightly at an above-trend pace.” To add to this uncertainty, investors are unsure of the implications of a rate hike on the markets.
  • Unemployment claims released on Thursday were worse than expected at 276,000 vs. the expected figure of 270,000.
