Sector Commentary
Currencies: The U.S. dollar weakened amid concerns about on-going investigations of Russian tampering in the U.S. elections, on weak U.S. housing data and on uncertainty about the direction of U.S. economic policy. The euro strengthened on an improved outlook for the euro zone economy, as well as on expectations the European Central Bank will begin to reduce its quantitative-easing programs. The New Zealand dollar strengthened on a favorable economic outlook.
Energy: Crude oil prices declined due to concerns about elevated global supplies. Natural gas prices declined as forecasts for mild weather pointed to reduced demand.
Equities: Global equity markets rose on positive economic growth reports, despite acts of global terrorism, continued reports of potential Russian interference in the U.S. elections, and rising Chinese debt.
Fixed Income: Global fixed income prices rose as the markets adapted to the Federal Reserve’s commitment to raising interest rates and to normalizing monetary policy.
Grains/Foods: Wheat and corn prices moved higher on concerns the weather may damage upcoming crops. Sugar markets declined over seven percent on expectations of a supply surplus. Lean hog prices rose over 20% due to strong demand ahead of the summer holidays. Cocoa prices rose over 11% amid signs of tighter supplies in the Ivory Coast, the world’s top grower. Soybean markets declined on concerns about weak markets in China, the top importer, and on record production from South America.
Metals: Precious metals markets moved higher as geopolitical fears about key European countries increased demand for safe haven assets. Copper markets moved lower on weak demand.
