The headliner for the month of November has to be that for the first time this year the equity indexes have posted back-to-back positive monthly returns. Across the board the returns were strong. Read our November market review.
Bad things have happened in the markets in the month of October. This year, that was not the case. In fact, October was quite the month of performance, as almost all the equity markets we track produced positive returns. Read our October market review.
Historically, September is the worst month for stock market performance. The year 2022 followed the trend with really poor returns across the globe. All of the equity indexes we follow were down significantly for the month. Read our September market review.
August is a month that is usually not so kind to the markets. The 2022 edition was no exception with the equity markets we follow losing about half the gains picked up in July. Read our August market review.
July 2022 did not disappoint as stock market indexes we follow produced solid gains, with the MSCI Emerging Markets being the lone exception. The bond market also rebounded for a solid gain for the first time this year. Read our July market review.
June was a month that saw all asset classes take a hit to valuations. Equities were notably lower, regardless of domicile. The bond index continues to lose value on higher interest rates. The one area of strength? Read our June 2022 review.
The month of May was more interesting than the tepid returns for the month suggest. The stock market indexes turned noticeably lower, bailed out by a strong rally over the final sessions of the month, and bond yields stabilized. Read our May 2022 review.
Bad. That is the only word we have to describe the markets we follow for the month of April. Every major stock market index was negative, as was the Aggregate Bond Index, which posted a negative 3.57% return last month. Read our April 2022 review.
March was quite the interesting month for investors. After a poor start to the year in January and February, the equity markets posted positive gains for the month, with the emerging markets the lone exception. Read our March 2022 review.

The US stock market rebounded from a poor September performance to reach record levels for the S&P 500, Dow Industrials and the S&P400 Mid-Cap Index. Global equities were also higher, just not with the force we saw in the US. Read our October 2021 review.

In 2021, it seems that as time moves forward the story stays the same for the markets – stock market indices continue to quietly increase in value. All the equity indexes we track, with the exception of the S&P600, were positive in August. Read our August 2021 review.
July turned out to be a rather interesting month for investors as the Dow Industrials and S&P500 large cap stock indexes continued their move to new all-time high levels. Our latest article covers all this and more. Read our July 2021 review.
