Strong U.S. economic growth data and more third quarter corporate earnings announcements coming in above expectations were not enough to counter negative sentiment that caused a further sell-off in equity markets this past week.

Despite a series of strong third quarter earnings reports, U.S. equities finished off a turbulent week with mixed results.

Global equity markets posted their largest weekly losses since the first quarter of the year this past week.

U.S. stocks broadly declined this past week as an unanticipated jump in long-term interest rates spooked equity investors.

Despite international trade disputes and some political uncertainty heading into midterm elections, U.S. stocks posted a strong third quarter with the best quarterly returns since the fourth quarter of 2013.
