ROI for 2018
2018 was a difficult year for investors. In this blog post I will highlight returns on three major investments:
- The US dollar index futures
- S&P 500 index futures
- Gold futures contract
| Investment Group | ROI for 2018 |
|---|---|
| US Dollar Index | 4.68% |
| Gold | (2.97%) |
| S&P 500 Index | (9.35%) |
The US Index futures provided the best return of 4.68% for the year. Since gold is quoted in US dollars it’s not surprising that gold produced a negative return of 2.97% for the year. The worst performance was the S&P 500 index which produced a negative return of 9.35%.
