NEW! Inside this PDF issue:

It was a wild week in both the U.S. and global equities markets as fears over rising U.S. interest rates coupled with a surging U.S. dollar continued to place downward pressure on stock prices. Only one out of the 42 global equity markets that we track ended the week in positive territory: Brazil (EWZ) +8.69% for the week ahead of a major election on Sunday. (On a side note: The market favors a Jair Bolsonaro victory and could have much more upside if he secures victory this weekend.) All other global markets, including the S&P 500 index, closed the week solidly in the red.

Q4 2018 began with broad selloff as the S&P 500 fell 1% last week on higher than normal volume. It is common to see profit taking around the end or beginning of a new quarter. However, it wasn’t just quarterly pruning that drove this selloff as the 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury yields climbed to new highs. Rising interest rates put pressure on corporate profits, and thus, is typically negative for equity prices. Put simply, the cost of borrowing is on the rise. And for a nation awash in debt and leverage, that’s not a great thing.
