Gains were lead by strong performance in the Energy and Industrials sectors. U.S. equity markets rose 5.2% in U.S. dollar terms during the quarter as all ten sectors saw gains. Increased consumer spending and improving manufacturing activity helped to bolster returns. The S&P 500 ($C) Index was up a modest 1.6% during the quarter as the Canadian dollar strengthened. Continued robust demand for bonds combined with low interest rates helped the Canadian bond market rise 2.0% during the second quarter. Long-term bonds posted the best returns, rising 3.8%, while corporates modestly outperformed federal bonds. International equities, as represented by the MSCI EAFE ($C) Index, rose 0.5% during the quarter as Central banks globally remained in a stimulative mode. Modest gains were largely due to positive returns in Europe and Japan. The Canadian dollar rose 3.5% against the U.S. dollar during the quarter. Canada s unemployment rate was 7.1% at the end of June; up 0.2% from the end of March. Year-over-year inflation of 2.4% is on the higher end of the Bank of Canada s target range of 1 to 3%. The U.S. Federal Reserve and Bank of Canada held their overnight rates steady in the second quarter at % and 1.0% respectively. 4.0% 3.0% 2.0% 1.0% -1.0% -2.0% Inflation (Measured by CPI) Overnight Rates Source: Bank of Canada Quarterly Year over Year Sources: Bank of Canada, Federal Reserve Board BoC Fed 2
