Happy October! Check out our weekly blog for market updates.

Weekly Summary:
Economic data included no revisions in the still-negative Q2 U.S. GDP report. Durable goods fell back, as did home prices in several national indexes. Consumer confidence measures were mixed, while jobless claims improved.

Global equity markets fell back again, as investor moods were dampened by continued corporate negativity and higher interest rates, with financial concerns in the U.K. a key catalyst. Bonds declined as yields rose across much of the treasury curve. Commodities were mixed with crude oil prices ending slightly higher for the week.

The U.S. Federal Reserve raised rates again to the degree expected, in efforts to combat inflation. Economic results for the week included mixed housing data, with sharply higher starts coupled with weaker homebuilder sentiment. The index of leading economic indicators continued to fall, reaching an important recession warning signal.

Global equity markets fell back on the week, as rising central bank policy rates fueled fears the economy will ‘break’ and tip into recession. Bonds declined as well, with yields ticking up across the maturity curve to multi-year highs. Commodities fell back broadly upon the same recession fears and more direct concerns of lower demand.

Economic data for the week included a consumer price inflation report that came in hotter than expected, while producer price inflation was mixed. Retail sales rose, while industrial production and several regional manufacturing indexes fell back.

Global equity markets reacted to the still-strong August U.S. consumer inflation report and expectations for continued hawkish central bank policy with sharply negative results. Bonds similarly fell, as interest rates continued to tick higher. Commodities also fell back, with concerns over near-term demand but fewer supply hurdles in the near-term.

On a holiday-shortened week, economic data for the week included the ISM services index strengthening, and mixed results for jobless claims.

Global equity markets gained last week, as central bank actions and member comments solidified a commitment to fighting inflation without overly damaging the global economy, in addition to inflation pressures themselves cooling. Bonds were mixed, with treasuries down due to higher rates, and high yield seeing gains. Commodities were mixed, with energy falling back due to natural gas prices, while crude oil was little changed.
