ETF Scorecard - November 20 Edition

Kiril NikolaevNov 20, 2015
2015-11-20

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 ended in the green for the week.
  • All major foreign markets, including developed and emerging markets, are up for the week.
  • The Core Retail Sales report released last Friday a worse-than-expected growth of 0.2% m/m vs. the consensus of 0.4%.
  • The FOMC Meeting Minutes hawkish tone on Wednesday moved the market higher. This lowered investors’ uncertainty of whether a rate hike will occur, and gave them peace of mind that rates probably will rise in December as anticipated.
  • The leading indicator, Philly Fed Manufacturing Index was reported better than expected yesterday (Thursday) at 1.9 vs. the consensus of 0.1. This is a great sign for the U.S. economy since a reading above 0.0 means general business conditions are improving.
  • On the foreign side, notable news is that Japan has fallen into recession again.
