Good Evening, This week is all about the Fed. All developments will be viewed through “rate increase” glasses. Each news item will be judged on how it might effect the Fed’s decision on whether or not to increase interest rates. The biggest item of all will be Friday’s payroll report. It has the gravity to determine whether or not there will be a June rate hike all on it’s own. We’ll see how the market responds to this news and react accordingly. Right now, however, our allocation is working just fine.
Praise God, our allocation out performed the market for another day gaining +0.60%! For comparison, the Dow was flat at +0.01%, the Nasdaq +0.08%, and the S&P 500 eased up +0.11%.
