In this month’s market update we discuss September’s global economic and market highlights, which includes an update on financial markets, the global trade situation, the developing narrative in emerging markets, and a particularly interesting 10-year anniversary of note.
Throughout September, we saw developed markets end the month on a positive note. Specifically, the Dow and S&P 500 set new highs, the Nikkei closed at its highest level since February, and global developed markets, including Canada closed even higher. On the other hand, emerging markets posted a negative month due to ongoing trade and credit concerns, as did the bond market with central banks continuing to raise interest rates.
