Economic Update 9-14-2020
- On a holiday-shortened week, economic data included a tick upward in producer and consumer inflation, although levels remain tempered. Employment data remained mixed.
- U.S. equity markets declined last week, as profit-taking in certain higher-growth stock groups continued. Foreign stocks outperformed domestic stocks slightly, along with improved economic prospects. Bonds gained due to inflows from riskier assets, led by investment-grade debt. Commodities were mixed to lower, as priced for crude oil and natural gas continued to show weakness.
