This is the week where most traders and PMs are out of the office during the summer, and it was a good one to take off for those that did!  Below is a look at the carnage through our key ETF matrix covering most asset classes.

As shown, the S&P 500 SPY ETF fell 5.63% on the week, but it wasn’t to be outdone by the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ), which fell 7.16%.  For the year, the QQQs are now down 0.64%, while the Dow 30 (DIA) is down 7.54%!

The one bright spot, if you want to call it that, was small-caps, which only fell 4.19% this week.  This outperformance for the smallcaps all came on Friday, when the IWM fell just 1.19% while the SPY fell 3.11%.

Energy (XLE) fell the most of any sector this week, dropping 8.5% and leaving it down 20% on the year.  The best performing sector was Utilities (XLU), which only fell 1%.

Things were even worse outside of the U.S., where areas like China (FXI) and Hong Kong (EWH) fell 9%+ on the week.  The only bright spots on our matrix were in gold (GLD) and silver (SLV) and Treasuries.
