ETF Scorecard: January 22 Edition

Bob CiuraJan 22, 2016
2016-01-22

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 flat for the week.
  • Most major foreign markets, including developed and emerging markets, are down for the week.
  • U.S. retail sales data disappointed the markets. December retail sales fell 0.1%, which was below expectations of flat sales.
  • December housing starts disappointed as well. Housing starts of 1.149 million missed expectations of 1.2 million.
  • The Consumer Price Index fell 0.1% in December, signaling deflationary concerns.
  • China’s GDP growth of 6.8% last quarter missed economists’ average consensus of 6.9% GDP growth.
  • European Central Bank President Mario Draghi spoke at a press conference and struck a dovish tone on monetary policy, saying he expects rates to remain at or below present levels for an extended period of time.
