ETF Scorecard: September 16 Edition

Susan AyodeleSep 16, 2016
2016-09-16

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 down this week.
  • U.S. CPI increased by 0.2% in August after being unchanged in July, due to rising rents and healthcare costs.
  • The overnight Yuan HIBOR rate jumped to 8.16% on Tuesday hitting a 7-month high. Market participants believe this move is likely due to intervention from China’s central bank.
  • China’s industrial production increased by 6.3% in August from a year earlier, beating expectations of 6.2%.
  • Crude oil inventories in the U.S. dropped by 0.6 million barrels this week, against expectations of a 2.8 million barrel increase.
  • According to the IEA’s Oil Market Report, the global demand for oil peaked at 2.3 million barrels per day in the third quarter of 2015 and has been falling in 2016. The IEA blames this change on unstable oil demands and falling oil consumption in Europe.
  • Britain’s year-over-year CPI remained steady at 0.6%, missing estimates of 0.7%, despite pressure from the weak pound. Month-by-month retail sales decreased by 0.2%, lower than expectations of a 0.4% decrease.
  • Eurozone confidence indicators were a disappointment on Tuesday. The German ZEW economic sentiment remained pegged at 0.5, missing expectations of 2.8.
  • Unemployment claims in the U.S. increased by 260,000 lower than expectations of 265,000. Retail sales fell by 0.3% in August, missing expectations of a 0.1% decrease. This is the first drop in 5 months. The PPI remained at 0.0% in August.
  • The Philly Fed Manufacturing Index increased by 12.8 in September, beating expectations of a 2.0 increase.
