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%
