TSP Market Summary: Week of June 10, 2017

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 paused its record-setting streak, declining 8 points to close at 2431
  • I fund currently outperforms both C and S funds, suggesting international strength
  • Fed rate decision and press conference next week may increase market volatility

Breaking news!! The S&P 500 did not make another record close this week. Instead, it went to the bench to take a breather, losing 8 points for the week and finishing at 2431. Next week we could see increased volatility as there are major economic events on Wednesday and Thursday, including a possible Fed Rate hike and the Fed Chair’s Press Conference. With regard to the TSP, the S fund has recouped some to pull even with the C fund’s performance ranking. However, the I fund’s performance ranking still tops both of them. As such, we’re recommending a slight reallocation of 30 percent each to the S and C funds with the remainder in the I fund.
