Stock Market and Economic Report

Despite turmoil, markets unchanged for the week

January 31, 2019 by Tim Fleischer

With all the drama and rumors circulating, it would be reasonable to think the stock market would have been either up or down more than a little for the week ending January 25, but the S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) moved hardly at all from the previous week, declining 0.22 percent to 2664.76.

S&P bounces back 4.85% in one week,but still down 5.8 since Sept.

December 5, 2018 by Tim Fleischer

The Markets

  The market, represented by the Standard and Poor’s 500 Stock Index (SPX) turned in a delightful 4.85 percent gain for the week ending November, closing at 2760.17. That still leaves it down 5.8 percent from its late September high but up 3.24 percent year-to-date.

S&P closes down 3.58% for Thanksgiving week

November 29, 2018 by Tim Fleischer

The Markets

  Traders were glad to see the US stock markets close early this shortened week as the S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) closed down 3.58 percent at 2632.56. That close marks a 10.13 percent decline from its closing high back in late September. The year-to-date loss of 1.54 percent and even the one-year gain of 1.37 percent do not greatly subtract from the gloom. The good news is that the SPX is, by our reckoning, now low to fairly-priced and the abundance of pessimism is far more indicative of a market bottom than one that is spoiling for a crash. Our analysis suggests this correction remains just that and is primarily a result of a market correcting for its growth-stock asset-class excesses in preparation for a rotation to value-based, positive balance-sheet stocks.

Stocks continue downturn

October 25, 2018 by Tim Fleischer

The Markets

  The venerable S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX) turned in an anemic 0.02 percent return for the week ending on Oct. 19 at 2767.78 but at least the score was not negative! That put it down 5.53 percent for one month, and down 1.22 percent for three months.

Irrational exuberance?

October 11, 2018 by Tim Fleischer

The Markets

  The stock market, as represented by the S&P 500 Stock Index (SPX), nosed down to 2885.57 closing the first week of the fourth quarter down 0.97 percent.
