FYI: After a brutal 2018, it has been nearly impossible for investors to lose money this year. If it sounds too good to be true for the rest of 2019, it just might be.
Stocks, bonds, credit markets, commodities and even cryptocurrencies have all risen in 2019, with some asset classes such as U.S. equities recently scaling fresh record highs.
Nearly 90% of the 70 financial asset classes tracked by Deutsche Bank posted positive total returns in U.S. dollar terms this year through April, according to the firm’s strategists Jim Reid and Craig Nicol. Total returns capture the effects of both price movements and cash received, such as dividends or bond coupons.
