Last week…
Was more of the same.
Volatility continued to rock the market both domestic and foreign.
US equities were all down, except for Health Care. Mid cap companies both growth and value were down slightly more than Large and Small Caps.
US REITs were up while Global REITs were down.
Unsurprisingly, Commodities were up. In fact, Commodities more than DOUBLED its YTD return from last week bringing its YTD return to over 28% and its 1-Year trailing return to nearly 50%. WOW!
Foreign Equities tumbled more than the US. Again, not a surprise given the situation with Ukraine.
Bonds breathed a small sign of life with 5 of those asset classes up from last week. US TIPS were up the most, over 2% which quite a bump considering the last year plus of lackluster performance.
Have a great weekend!
