 ANOTHER MIXED WEEK FOR U.S. STOCK MARKETS AS GOLD FALLS…
U.S. stock markets were mostly down this week, as investors did not really need to digest any new news on the week, so time was spent speculating when a coronavirus vaccine might be available and when a new stimulus package might be passed. And the data that did come out this week was widely expected – housing is still red hot, jobless claims barely moved from week to week, consumer sentiment is improving at a slower rate and manufacturing is pretty good.
For a brief period of time, the S&P 500 flirted with correction territory – defined as a decline of 10% or more from a recent peak – but that was short-lived. Energy stocks were once again the biggest losers on the week, pushed down by falling oil prices.
The technology and mega-cap names did decently whereas the smaller-cap and cyclical stocks were hit much harder, likely on the presumption that we are further away from a vaccine than most had hoped.
