BMT Market Summary- Equities Lower Around the Globe, Emerging Markets Enter Bear Market
Against the backdrop of strong quarterly earnings, domestic equities ended August with a relatively steady run to the upside, as the S&P 500 advanced each of the last three weeks of the month. The cumulative gain for those 15 trading days was just over 2.5%. With the second-quarter earnings season largely in the books, however, other issues took center stage for investors as trading commenced after Labor Day. One such item was tariffs, retaliation for those tariffs, and the threat of added tariffs. Another was provided mid-week, when some large cap, social media companies came under fire during Congressional Committee testimony for how their services are used and managed. This raised the possibility of added regulation. These issues, which admittedly have been ongoing, were not supportive of a continued move to the upside. After hitting an all-time closing high on the third last trading day of August, September saw the S&P 500 cede ground each day of the holiday-shortened trading week. Over the four days, the Index lost ‑0.98%, to pare its year-to-date advance to 8.86%.
