1. Market Recap and Comments (August 7 – August 11, 2023)
All markets fell this week, with volatility increasing, except for the US dollar, which rallied 1%, and high-yield corporate bonds that posted small gains. Long-duration bonds were down due to data showing persisting core CPI inflation but also a rising PPI.
Commodities (DBC) fell 0.1%. The US dollar index rebound continued for a fourth week in a row, with the UUP ETF adding 1%. Large caps (SPY) and international stocks (VEU) fell 0.3% and 0.7%, respectively. The GLD ETF dropped 1.4%.
Systematic strategies came under pressure due to rising volatility, but the ensemble losses were limited to 0.3% due to gains from the commodity trend-following strategy.
Volatility and uncertainty will probably increase due to expectations of rising crude oil prices and an uptick in inflation.
