Last week…was another decent on this rollercoaster we call The Markets!

 

 

 

 

The first graph above illustrates just how volatile the markets have been the last four weeks.  As you can see, all of the US Equities displayed the same pattern – Up Down Up Down, like a crazy rollercoaster.

 

Last week ended down in Equities for the most part. Though, like a brilliant firework US Health Care sparkled UP almost ¼ percent.  Ok, so maybe not a firework but more of a sparkler…still we have to see the light in the dark these days!

 

US and Global REITS were also down.  And Commodities continued to slip as the price per barrel of oil continues to decline.

 

Foreign Equities were down about the same as US Equities.

 

US High Yield Bonds, Foreign Bonds, Emerging Market Bonds and US TIPS were all down as well.  However, we have US Short and Intermediate Term Treasuries and Corporates ALL up from last week.

 

Have a great weekend!
