Monthly Market Monitor – May 2018

I have attached the Monthly Market Monitor put together by Eaton Vance. As always, I recommend taking a look through the full presentation if you have the time. However, I have included a few helpful charts below.

Flattening Yield Curve – Over the past year, front end of curve has risen much more than the back end

VIX – back near historical average after a spike in February – March

P/E Relative to Performance – S&P 500 companies with highest valuations have performed best YTD

Asset Class Returns – YTD, there are few asset classes with positive returns

Asset Class Correlation – the Agg provides diversification benefits in a balanced portfolio with equities
