“The Thai flood and its after effects may have affected Consumer Staples and Food stocks in Asia in the third quarter,” said Stephen Wood, New York-based Chief Market Strategist for Russell Investments. Added Wood, “In addition, the non-discriminating ‘risk-off’ sentiment of global investors during the quarter clearly had an impact on performance in all global regions.”
Looking closer, the Russell Asia Pacific Index Food sub-sector has matched or underperformed the Russell Asia Pacific Index Consumer Staples sector for September (-6.6%), October (3.4%) and for November (-1.2%), through November 11.
