THE MILD SETBACK for US equities of late could be attributed to a combination of fierce winter storms in the northeastern US, ongoing concerns about economic growth and the prospects for hiring and some disappointing consumer- confidence figures. For the week ended Feb 26, the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.7% to close at 10,325, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index declined 0.4% to 1,104 and the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 0.3% to 2,238. With these declines, US markets are now down roughly 1% for the year.

STOCKS ADVANCED FOR the second consecutive week for the period ended Feb 19, which saw the Dow Jones Industrial Average rise 3% to 10,402, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index advance 3.1% to 1,109 and the Nasdaq Composite Index climb 2.8% to 2,244.

Despite some mixed data over the past couple of months, our view is that the global economic recovery remains on track, both in developed and emerging economies. In the US, manufacturing, production and business sales figures have risen over the past six months at their strongest rates since the early 1980s, but we have yet to see real improvements in jobs or income growth. The snow storms that paralysed large areas of the US in February probably mean that the month’s numbers will be sluggish as well.

IT HAS BEEN a tough couple of weeks for equities. For the week ended Jan 29, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 1% to 10,067, the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index declined 1.6% to 1,074 and the Nasdaq Composite Index dropped 2.6% to 2,147.

Along with the recent decline in equity prices, we have also seen some strengthening of the US dollar in recent weeks, as well as a fall in commodity prices.
