Since September 2020 we have been talking about market rotation, i.e. value companies and small companies have been outperforming growth and large companies. This rotation has continued for most of 2021, but the wave has shifted back now toward larger and more growth firms. Large Growth and Value are now pretty much on an even playing field YTD. Mid Growth & Value as well as Small Growth & Value are evening out but at a slower pace.
US REITS were up a little while Global REITS were down a little. Commodities were up almost 2% from the previous week. We noted Commodities’ YTD return of 22.62% is pretty close to Tech’s return of 23.49 YTD. We haven’t seen Commodities and Tech this close since 2010. Commodities have a lot of room left to grow with their trailing 10 & 15 year returns still in the red.
Foreign was mixed, but no big movement either way. Emerging market is the biggest loser, down 2.2%.
AND five out of our eight bond asset classes are now out of the red YTD. This is the best bonds have looked all year.
Have a great weekend!
