Tricky week overall with the Porch-folio down -0.25%, underperforming both the FTSE100 and the others on the investing platform.

A strong week this week outperforming both the FTSE100 index and the others on the investment platform. With a storming performance from MercadoLibre up close to +15% for the week. The stock is now at the highest it has been since November 2021. No specific news on the stock beyond a few banks and analysts rating the stock higher.

Another decent week overall in the sense that the Porch-folio returned positive performance on what has been a choppy few weeks for what is a commodity heavy portfolio. Earnings season is also coming to an end with most companies now having reported their earnings for the second quarter.

The wheels came off a bit this week, with a pretty disappointing performance, though still ahead of the market index.

Overall a comfortable week considering the performance of others and the market as a whole. Particularly encouraging given the portfolio's heavy lean towards mining and commodity names and that sector's particularly poor performance this week. The recent trading in the portfolio to diversify is seeming to pay-off.

Another really encouraging week, with strong outperformance again to both the FTSE100 and the others on the platform.

A really strong this week and we head into earnings season, significantly outperforming both other users on the platform and the FTSE 100.

The unexpected fall in UK inflation data brought a lot of optimism for UK stocks, and likely the reason for the underperformance vs a user base and index that is much more UK focussed.

A nice solid rebound after the previous week, comfortably ahead of both the FTSE100 and the other users on the platform.

A tricky week, with strong US jobs data pushing up US treasury yield expectations, and bringing equities down in tandem.

After a pretty brutal week the week before, this week has been better.

Weeks like this come around once in a while, and to be expected with a higher risk portfolio like I am running.
