Last Week…

 

… was still a bit on the down-low.

 

 

All US Equities were down

  • Technology fell the most -6.07%, but keep in mind it is falling from a 32% positive YTD
  • Large Growth fell quite a bit also -4.05%,  but once again it can afford to do so with a 26.12% YTD

The pattern of the ‘closing gap’ between Growth and Value has continued

  • EXCEPT in Small Caps, where Value was hit worse than Growth this time around
  • Small Cap Value -3.32%, Small Cap Growth -2.05%

 

Foreign Stocks did better this past week.

  • Foreign Growth and Value were not down as far as before
  • Meanwhile, Foreign Large Blend and Foreign Large Growth clawed ahead +0.28% and +0.85% respectively.

 

And Bonds were… you guessed it, barely bubbling over again! Only two sets were down

  • Emerging Market Bonds -0.22%
  • Corporate High Yield -0.23%
  • All others barely budged past the prior week

 

Have a great weekend!
