What’s Hot
· Gold was hot, but most metals made progress, pushing up the whole Commodity sector
· Emerging markets, Asia ex Japan and China made very steady progress to start the year
· It is good to see UK small caps showing at a sector level, but this needs to broaden out for a month or two before three cheers
What’s Not
· India is the only major faller, down nearly 8%
· None of the other sector falls are significant, more indicating expected drift in some areas, US and bonds
