Monthly Market Summary – March 2022
Edelman Financial Engines
April 4, 2022


U.S. STOCKS REBOUND AMID CONTINUED VOLATILITY


WHAT HAPPENED 

After declines in January and February, U.S. stocks had a positive March.
Large-cap stocks were up by 3.71% and small caps by 0.37% (S&P 500 and 600
indexes). Things were more mixed with international stocks. Developed-market
stocks closed the month up 0.64% but emerging-market stocks fell by 2.26% (MSCI
EAFE and Emerging Markets indexes). It was another volatile month. The S&P 500
moved by +/- 1% on 14 days in March, compared to 10 in February. However, nine
days were up and five down in March, whereas in February, most big market moves
were negative. Interest rates rose in March and so bond prices fell. The
Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond index was down 2.78%.




WHY IT HAPPENED

The main drivers of volatility in February were still factors in March: the war
in Ukraine, inflation concerns and the Federal Reserve’s interest-rate policy.
Last month, the start of the war was a major negative shock to the market,
sending stocks down. This is now “priced in” (it’s not a shock anymore), and
stocks have been moving in response to new information, both positive and
negative. For example, in the middle of the month, there were hopeful signs
about a possible way to peace between the two nations, and stocks rose.

Other factors influenced markets too. The employment market continues to be
strong. In March, weekly first-time claims for unemployment insurance fell to
their lowest level since 1969, and the unemployment rate dipped to 3.8%. New job
creation exceeded expectations. On the other hand, inflation also exceeded
expectations, hitting 7.9%, the highest since 1982. The Federal Reserve made its
long-anticipated first increase in interest rates, upping the federal funds rate
by 0.25%. In this month’s sidebar, we discuss why it makes sense to hold bonds
even as the Federal Reserve increases interest rates.


WHAT IT MEANS FOR YOU

Market volatility is unsettling, but it’s important to remember volatility means
markets can jump upward as well as fall downward. February was a volatile down
month, and March a volatile up month. So, if you’d gotten out of the market in
February because of the volatility, you would have missed out on the recovery in
March. It may be difficult to stay focused on maintaining a long-term,
diversified portfolio when markets are volatile, but in times like this, it is
even more important to not make emotional investing decisions.
