Macro Overview
Global equity markets retreated as escalating geopolitical tensions and disappointing news from the technology sector weighed on investor sentiment. The S&P 500 (IVV) fell 1.24% in its largest single-day loss in a month, with similar declines seen in Developed ex-U.S. (EFA) markets, which dropped 1.29%. In contrast, Broad Commodities (DJP) served as a notable outlier, gaining 0.70% as crude oil prices surged on supply concerns. Fixed income markets also weakened, with the U.S. Aggregate Bond (AGG) losing 0.25% as rising oil fueled inflation fears and pushed Treasury yields higher.
U.S. Size & Style
Large-cap growth stocks led the U.S. market lower, reflecting weakness among technology bellwethers. The Large Growth (IVW) index fell 1.75%, a much steeper decline than the 0.62% drop for its Large Value (IVE) counterpart. This divergence was driven by poor earnings reports and guidance from major tech components. Interestingly, Mid Growth (IJK) bucked the trend with a slight 0.12% gain, while small-caps generally outperformed large-caps on a relative basis.

Fixed Income
Bonds sold off across the board as rising oil prices stoked inflation concerns, pushing Treasury yields to their highest levels since early 2025. The core U.S. Aggregate Bond (AGG) index declined 0.25%, with longer-duration instruments seeing greater price pressure. Riskier segments of the bond market also retreated amid the risk-off mood, as evidenced by the 0.36% loss in the High Yield (HYG) corporate bond fund. The strengthening U.S. dollar also contributed to losses in international local currency debt.
