“And down goes commodities….early in the first round….”  That’s no way to start a 12 round bout, but commodities go as crude oil goes , and energies were shooting down in January on the heels of economic and travel worries behind the Coronavirus scare.  On the flip side, U.S. Stocks & U.S. Real Estate picked up right where they left off last year, starting out 2020 strong; while the rest of the asset classes performed middle of the pack.

Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
