Weekly Market Review
Talking Points
• Among equities, large-caps outperformed small-caps, and growth stocks outperformed value-oriented issues. Domestic stocks underperformed international equities. Developed markets underperformed emerging market stocks.
• Treasury prices were little changed on the week. The yield on the 10-year T-note declined slightly.
• Commodity prices were sharply lower the week. Crude oil, precious metals and grains all declined.
• The dollar was slightly higher against a basket of currencies.
• Among economic data released this week, consumer prices fell in March, housing data was mixed, industrial production rose and jobless claims were slightly above expectations.
Weekly Highlights
• Domestic stock prices sold off this week. Investors reacted to sluggish first quarter earnings reports by taking profits this week. According to Bloomberg, 103 of the S&P 500’s companies have so far reported, with average earnings growth in the quarter trailing that of the previous quarter. Analysts expect an acceleration in earnings growth beginning in the third quarter of 2013. Stocks also reacted negatively to the plunge in commodities prices, which is an indication of investor expectations of a slowing economy.
• Global markets also consolidated on the week. With the exception of certain Asian markets, world equity markets followed the lead of the U.S., posting broad losses. German stocks fell for a sixth straight day today, the longest streak since November 2011, due to disappointing earnings reports.
• Treasury prices were little changed this week. Yields on the benchmark 10-year Treasury were slightly lower. Many analysts believe that Treasury prices are somewhat expensive, and that yields could rise.
• Commodity indexes plunged this week. Each of the three major complexes – energy, precious metals and grains – all declined this week on slowing economic growth.

THE ECONOMY AND MARKETS
A Macro View In a week marred by the bombing tragedy in Boston, investors took profits, primarily as a result of lackluster first quarter earnings reports. According to Bloomberg data, 103 of the companies comprising the S&P 500 have reported earnings so far, with results coming in somewhat below expectations. The consensus among analysts is that first quarter earnings will be down -1.1% once all companies have reported. The sectors with the poorest results in the quarter so far have been energy, which has suffered as a result of a drop in oil prices, and health care. The sectors with the strongest reports on a relative basis have been telecommunications services and financials. Stocks have also responded to lowered guidance by company executives. Emerging markets stocks rebounded this week relative to developed markets, primarily as a result of investor anticipation that the Chinese government will take action to spur flagging economic growth. The Shanghai Composite Index bucked the trend, gaining 1.7% for the week and leading emerging markets higher. Since the beginning of 2012, the S&P 500 has outperformed emerging markets stocks by about 1500 basis points, making emerging markets attractively valued on a relative basis. We believe that an overweight to emerging markets within an international equity allocation is warranted for investors who are more opportunistically inclined.

Consumer Price Index-Trailing 12 Mos.
Source: Bloomberg
In terms of fixed-income investments, activity was quiet this week, but many analysts believe the run-up in prices – and attendant decline in yields – experienced over the past few weeks has been overdone, and that Treasurys are now expensive. Part of the rise has been due to the significant decline in inflation expectations that has occurred in recent months (please see nearby graph). Last week, the producer price index declined dramatically and was followed by this week’s report that consumer prices also fell. The drops prompted fears of renewed deflation and anticipation of continued Fed monetary aggressiveness. Inflation expectations are at their lowest level in many months and could rise again with renewed central bank stimulus. In such a scenario, we believe TIPS should perform well relative to other Treasury securities.

The Consumer Price Index (CPI) measures the change in the cost of a fixed basket of products and services. The Gross Domestic Product (GDP) rate is a measurement of the output of goods and services produced by labor and property located in the United States. The information, analysis, and opinions expressed herein are for general and educational purposes only. Nothing contained in this weekly review is intended to constitute legal, tax, accounting, securities, or investment advice, nor an opinion regarding the appropriateness of any investment, nor a solicitation of any type. All investments carry a certain risk, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. An investor may experience loss of principal. Investment decisions should always be made based on the investor’s specific financial needs and objectives, goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance. The asset classes and/or investment strategies described may not be suitable for all investors and investors should consult with an investment advisor to determine the appropriate investment strategy. Past performance is not indicative of future results. Information obtained from third party sources are believed to be reliable but not guaranteed. Endowment Wealth Management makes no representation regarding the accuracy or completeness of information provided herein. All opinions and views constitute our judgments as of the date of writing and are subject to change at any time without notice. Investments in smaller companies carry greater risk than is customarily associated with larger companies for various reasons such as volatility of earnings and prospects, higher failure rates, and limited markets, product lines or financial resources. Investing overseas involves special risks, including the volatility of currency exchange rates and, in some cases, limited geographic focus, political and economic instability, and relatively illiquid markets. Income (bond) securities are subject to interest rate risk, which is the risk that debt securities in a portfolio will decline in value because of increases in market interest rates. Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) are subject to risks similar to those of stocks, such as market risk. Investing in ETFs may bear indirect fees and expenses charged by ETFs in addition to its direct fees and expenses, as well as indirectly bearing the principal risks of those ETFs. ETFs may trade at a discount to their net asset value and are subject to the market fluctuations of their underlying investments. Investing in commodities can be volatile and can suffer from periods of prolonged decline in value and may not be suitable for all investors. Index Performance is presented for illustrative purposes only and does not represent the performance of any specific investment product or portfolio. An investment cannot be made directly into an index.

Alternative Investments may have complex terms and features that are not easily understood and are not suitable for all investors. You should conduct your own due diligence to ensure you understand the features of the product before investing. Alternative investment strategies may employ a variety of hedging techniques and non-traditional instruments such as inverse and leveraged products. Certain hedging techniques include matched combinations that neutralize or offset individual risks such as merger arbitrage, long/short equity, convertible bond arbitrage and fixed-income arbitrage. Leveraged products are those that employ financial derivatives and debt to try to achieve a multiple (for example two or three times) of the return or inverse return of a stated index or benchmark over the course of a single day. Inverse products utilize short selling, derivatives trading, and other leveraged investment techniques, such as futures trading to achieve their objectives, mainly to track the inverse of their benchmarks. As with all investments, there is no assurance that any investment strategies will achieve their objectives or protect against losses. Neither Endowment Wealth Management nor its representatives render tax, accounting or legal advice. Any tax statements contained herein are not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of avoiding U.S. federal, state, or local tax penalties. Taxpayers should always seek advice based on their own particular circumstances from an independent tax advisor. Copyright Endowment Wealth Management, Inc. All rights reserved
