YTD Asset Class Scoreboard by Attain Capital
Well that was a lot of red in July, with all of the asset classes we track showing negative performance behind stock markets’ first losing month in the past six. The big loser, commodities, which fell over 5% as energy markets sold off and the big sell off in grains through the month of July, making Commodities the only asset class negative on the year.
