ETF Scorecard: June 17 Edition

Kiril NikolaevJun 17, 2016
2016-06-17

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 in the red for the week.
  • Most major foreign markets, including developed and emerging markets, are down for the week.
  • During the FOMC press conference on Wednesday, no change to interest rates was made.
  • Inflation slowed, as reported on Thursday. The month-over-month CPI change has been 0.2%, instead of the expected 0.3%.
  • Core retail sales growth was inline with expectations, at 0.4% as reported on Tuesday.
  • The Philly Fed Manufacturing Index was better than expected, as reported Thursday. The index reading is well above zero, at 4.7 vs. the consensus of 0.8. This is great news for manufacturing and U.S. economic health.
  • Housing starts reported this morning are showing a positive trend. The number of housing starts is 1.164 million vs. the expected 1.150 million. Housing permit numbers, on the other hand, are showing signs of weakness. The number of housing permits is 1.138 million vs. the expected 1.140 million. This may not seem significantly lower than expected but the year-on-year rate remains negative at -10.1%.
  • The EU referendum on the possibility of a Brexit is coming up on June 23. As of right now, the polls are showing a 10-point swing towards Brexit. This has developed markets concerned and is a major reason why U.K. markets are down.
