… the market reflected the unease and stress of uncertainty around us.
Keep in mind that, while last week ended in a sell off, this week (through Wednesday morning), has advanced well beyond these negative numbers. As we write, the market appears to be pricing in an extended and potentially contentious election process.
Many of the ‘big dogs’ were hit the hardest
Technology -7.88%
Large Cap Growth -7.72%
Foreign stocks were not hit quite as hard
Most Foreign stocks were in the range of -5%
Resilient this year, bonds continued bubbling – with riskier bonds following equities down, but far less.
Corporate high yield slipped the most at -1.08%
Short Term Treasuries came in first with a gain of just +0.01%
The markets continue to heal more beneath the surface with Large Growth and Technology stocks showing the most turbulence at the top. This is where diversification really comes into play keeping portfolios performing!
Have a great weekend!
