【fix hole in fiberglass boat】ETF Scorecard: February 1 Edition
To help investors keep up with the markets,fix hole in fiberglass boat we present our ETF Scorecard. The Scorecard takes a step back and looks at how various asset classes across the globe are performing. The weekly performance is from last Friday’s open to this week’s Thursday close. U.S. President Donald Trump has signed a bill to reopen the government for three weeks without obtaining a concession on his key demand for funding a wall along the Mexican border. At the World Economic Forum in Davos, policymakers and the world’s business elites signaled worries about the increasingly powerful technology firms and there was a consensus on the need for global regulation. At the same time, the broad feeling was that no one knew where the monetary policy should head next, with the global economy experiencing a slowdown. The sentiment towards China also was more chilled than previously. The U.S. Federal Reserve made a weird U-turn on monetary policy guidance, implying that the next move in interest rates could either be up or down. This marks an abrupt departure from previous guidance when the Fed indicated that another two raises were likely this year. That scenario now appears to be history. U.S. consumer confidence dropped to 120 in January from 126.6 in the previous month, according to the Conference Board. Analysts had expected a decline to 125. Chinese manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) has fallen deeper into contraction territory in February, coming in at 48.3 compared with 49.7 in the prior month. Last time the PMI fell to such low levels was in March 2016. U.S. unemployment claims surged to 253,000 for the week ended January 26, largely due to the government shutdown, which left many government employees without current income. According to ADP, the U.S. economy added 213,000 jobs in January compared with 263,000 in the prior month. Analysts had forecasted 180,000 jobs. Risk Appetite Review Markets rallied again this week, as investors cheered the Federal Reserve’s pause in hiking interest rates. Risk assets ( SPHB B-) increased the most this week, by 3.91%.
