Sector Commentary
Currencies: The U.S. dollar strengthened as monetary policy tightened and interest rate differentials increased with other economies. The Australian dollar weakened on a slowing Chinese economy and on rising U.S. interest rates. The New Zealand dollar weakened on concerns over rising trade tensions. The Canadian dollar also weakened on trade tensions.
Energy: Crude oil prices moved higher as OPEC agreed to increase output to compensate for sector-wide losses in production. Natural gas prices declined slightly as rising production and inventories limited the impact of warmer weather.
Equities: U.S. equities were mixed as the Dow moved lower on concerns about potential trade wars. The S&P finished the month slightly higher, boosted by rising energy stocks. U.K. equities markets moved lower on trade concerns and weaker-than-expected economic data.
Fixed Income: Global fixed income markets moved slightly lower, despite trade war concerns, with the Federal Reserve restating the case for tighter monetary policy. The Bank of England kept rates unchanged but provided hawkish guidance in its monetary policy statement.
Grains/Foods: Corn, wheat and soybean prices declined due to favorable weather and on concerns about trade disputes with China. Cotton prices also fell due to trade tensions with China. Sugar markets moved lower on excess supply. Coffee markets declined on rising output from Brazil, a top producer.
Metals: Precious metals prices declined on U.S. dollar strength. Base metal prices declined on low demand and a strong U.S. dollar.
