ETF Scorecard - January 15 Edition

Bob CiuraJan 15, 2016
2016-01-15

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 Thursday’s close.

  • U.S. markets are down for the week with small-cap stocks falling the most.
  • Most major foreign markets, including developed and emerging markets, are down for the week.
  • Friday’s strong jobs report showed that U.S. non-farm payrolls jumped 292,000 in December, which was 92,000 above consensus estimates.
  • Mortgage applications came in higher than expected, thanks to a strong jobs market and low rates, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association’s weekly report. Purchase applications increased 18% for the January 8 week as refinancing applications grew 24%.
  • The Baker Hughes Rig Count released Friday showed U.S. rigs down by another 34, a sign of continued contraction in the oil and gas industry.
  • China’s consumer price index rose by 1.6% in December, missing forecasts of a 1.7% increase. Fears of deflationary pressure in China are contributing to its stock market decline.
  • Released Friday, German monthly industrial production declined 0.3%. The figure widely missed consensus estimates of a 0.4% increase.

Risk Appetite Review

  • The overall market as measured by the S&P 500 ETF (SPY A) was slightly down by 1.67% for the week.
  • The high-beta ETF (SPHB B-) was the worst performer in the group with a 5.72% loss for the week.
  • The low-volatility ETF (SPLV A+) is down the least with a decline of 1.20% for the week.
