ETF Scorecard: September 9 Edition

Susan AyodeleSep 09, 2016
2016-09-09

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.

  • Markets are mostly up this week, however this morning the overall market has declined by about 1.0%.
  • Crude oil inventories in the U.S. dropped by 14.5 million barrels this week against expectations of a 0.6 million increase. This is the largest weekly drop since January 1999.
  • U.S. crude oil prices, struggling to break out of the $40 to $50 range, jumped to $47.25 on Thursday. The unexpected drop in crude oil supplies drove this rally.
  • The ECB left its key interest rates unchanged at 0.0%, and refrained from extending its QE program beyond March 2017.
  • Unemployment claims in the U.S. were at 259,000 this week, while expectations had a reading of 264,000.
  • Eurozone’s GDP growth came in at 0.3% for the second quarter, in line with estimated forecasts. The economic recovery is expected to be slow due to subdued foreign demand, since Britain voted to leave the EU.
  • U.S. consumer credit increased by 17.7 billion in July 2016, beating market expectations of 15.6 billion.
