April Market Update
Since October, stock markets have continued to do better in spite of there being lots of bad news in the media.
We do have to remember the expression ‘if it bleeds it leads’. So remember to look at the positive things around us – inflation is decreasing and unemployment is still very low.
Year to date we are at:
| North America | March | Year to Date |
|---|---|---|
| S&P/TSX | -0.6% | 6.4% |
| S&P 500 (USD) | 3.5% | 7.6% |
| World | ||
| MSCI EAFE (USD) | 1.9% | 10.4% |
Hopes for a quick rebound from the worst bout of market volatility in years were dashed as the specter of a spiraling global trade war pummeled equities while Canada’s dollar was hammered.
