ETF Scorecard: January 29 Edition

Kiril NikolaevJan 29, 2016
2016-01-29

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.

  • Oil prices rose to $33 a barrel, which had a positive impact on U.S. stocks. This was partly due to Russia’s announcement that it is cutting production of about 500,000 barrels per day.
  • The Fed did not change interest rates this week and stated its optimism about the future of the U.S. economy.
  • The conference board released the latest U.S. consumer confidence figure of 98.1 this Tuesday, which surpassed the consensus of 96.6.
  • Pending home sales remained flat in December.
  • The U.S. manufacturing sector suffered as new orders on durable goods dropped 5.1% in December due to low oil prices and a strong dollar.
  • European shares are in a downturn due to low earnings and poor bank performance.
  • China’s central bank released 360 billion yuan ($54.7 billion) through reverse-repos last Tuesday in an effort to boost the economy. This has been the largest money input done by the central bank in a single day in the last three years.
