Recap of the Week
It was another strong showing for the stock market. The performance varied greatly among different sectors, however.
The Dow Jones barely moved, while the S&P 500 had a modest rally. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 had the biggest advances. Most economic data was positive. A December interest rate hike looks very likely, but that hasn’t slowed down the bulls yet.
TSP Funds
The S Fund had the largest gain of 3.91%. It was followed by the C Fund’s 0.75% gain. It was a bad week for the F Fund, however. It declined by 1.02%. The I Fund fared even worse, falling 1.87%.
