The fourth quarter of 2023 was a volatile period for the financial markets. Stocks and bonds continued to lose ground early on amid concerns that interest rates might remain elevated for an extended period. They went on to post strong gains, however, as inflation remained on a downward trend and economic growth softened, leading the markets to anticipate that policy rates had reached their peak and that cuts were likely not too far down the road. 

 

Global stocks returned about 11% for the quarter, as measured by the FTSE Global All Cap Index, with equities in Europe and the United States climbing a little more than those in Asia and emerging markets. 

 

Overall, yields of U.S. bonds finished the quarter lower and their prices higher. The yield for the bellwether 10-year U.S. Treasury note, for example, climbed to around 5% in October before sliding to end the year at less than 4%. The broad U.S. investment-grade bond market returned 6.72% (as measured by the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Float Adjusted Index).
