Markets react to central banks’ inaction

Managing Director Investment Practice Adam Goff joins host Mark Soupiset on this week’s Market Week in Review update. Starting in the U.S., Goff notes that neither the Q1 U.S. gross domestic product (GDP) coming in at a paltry 0.5% or the decision from the U.S. Federal Reserve to not raise interest rates was a huge surprise to the markets, and Russell Investments’ strategists remain optimistic about the U.S. economy’s overall resilience in 2016.With strong key economic indicators out of the eurozone this week – including 0.6% GDP growth quarter-on-quarter, lower unemployment and no sign of increasing inflation – Goff comments the positive potential for the economy with strong earnings and economic growth and a fairly straightforward path for European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi’s quantitative easing program.
