The Expanded Retail Sales Gap
Retail sales growth in February 2017 was going to be low by virtue of its comparison to February 2016 and the extra day in that month. The Census Bureau’s autoregressive models are supposed to normalize just these kinds of calendar irregularities so that we can make something close to apples to apples comparisons.

What Makes EM Bond ETFs Attractive?
Emerging markets have been under the spotlight so far this year. One of the primary reasons for growing inflows in emerging markets is the uncertainty of President Trump’s protectionist agenda.

The Times, They Are A-Changin’
Anybody who watches CNBC or Bloomberg TV probably knows about VIX, the CBOE S&P 500 Volatility Index. Commonly referred to as the “fear index,” VIX measures the market’s expectation of S&P 500 variability over a 30-day horizon.
