ETF Scorecard: July 1 Edition

Iuri StrutaJul 01, 2016
2016-07-01

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.

  • Global markets are up for the week, largely recovering from a brutal sell-off following Britain’s decision to leave the E.U.
  • U.S. markets are up for the week.
  • Most European markets, including Britain, have risen this week.
  • Europe is putting pressure on Britain to leave the trading bloc as soon as possible in order to remove uncertainty, but the country’s politicians signaled they wanted to take their time.
  • The U.S. consumer confidence of 98 beats expectations of 93.2 for the month of June, while GDP for the first quarter was revised up to 1.1% from 1% previously.
  • Boris Johnson, a campaigner for Brexit and a favorite to succeed Cameron, announced he will not run for prime minister, delivering further political uncertainty for Britain. Home Secretary Theresa May now has the upper hand on the top spot, but Justice Secretary Michael Gove, who favored Brexit, will also run.
  • Amid political turmoil, Mark Carney, the Governor of the Bank of England, strongly hinted at a rate cut or other stimulus measures; markets cheered the news.
