Market summary as of September 30, 2020
The rebound in global stocks that began in March continued in the third quarter of 2020. Massive fiscal and monetary support from governments and central banks, economic healing signs, and reported progress toward a COVID-19 vaccine all buoyed the markets.
Stocks throughout the world posted gains, with the United States outpacing its counterparts in other developed markets. Key reasons for the U.S. stock surge included continued improvements in hiring and consumer spending, along with the Federal Reserve’s August decision to target average inflation. This decision could leave interest rates lower for longer.
Amid stretched valuations in the technology sector, a resurgence of coronavirus infections in some regions, and dimmer chances of a new federal aid package in the United States, investor sentiment soured and volatility returned in September.
In the global bond market, the pandemic led to a wave of issuance, which drove up supply, but demand held up reasonably well. The quarter ended with yields little changed. Global bonds returned more than 1% on a U.S. dollar-hedged basis, while U.S. bonds returned 0.65%.
