Macro Overview
Global markets diverged as a sharp spike in energy prices rattled investor sentiment. U.S. equities, represented by the S&P 500 (IVV), finished the day flat, while both Developed ex-U.S. (EFA) and Emerging Markets (EEM) posted losses of 0.50% and 0.72%, respectively. The standout performer was the commodities complex, with the Broad Commodities index (DJP) climbing 3.13% on geopolitical tensions. Concurrently, rising inflation fears pushed Treasury yields higher, causing the U.S. Aggregate Bond (AGG) to decline by 0.37%.
U.S. Size & Style
A defensive posture was evident across U.S. size and style segments, with investors favoring value over growth. Large Cap Value (IVE) was the only category to end in positive territory, gaining 0.23%. In contrast, growth-oriented segments like Large Cap Growth (IVW) slipped 0.25%. Small caps broadly underperformed their larger counterparts, with Small Cap Value (IJS) falling 0.75% as concerns over rising rates weighed on smaller companies.
