Last Week…
… Most US stocks hopped ahead, some nearly doubling for the first month of 2020!
The S&P 500 and Large Growth both gained more than 2.0%.
- All US Equities except Large Value and the Health Care were ahead over 2.0%.
- Technology was in the lead AGAIN for gains at 2.86%
- US REITS also advanced over 2.5%
- All Foreign indexes rose but, not with the same fervor as US stocks
- Nearly all Bonds reached minimal gains under 1%, but that’s nothing to sneeze at!
- The only classes that lost headway were Commodities (-1.07%), Foreign Bonds (-0.23%) and TIPS (-0.11%)
Have a great weekend!
