The Markets

Stocks moved up last week. After falling several days, stocks had a strong rally on Friday. This was mostly due to employment data, which came in near expectations. Traders were happy the data was reasonably good, but not too strong. If employment numbers are too favorable, it could prompt a near-term rate hike by the Fed.

The I Fund was the week’s top performer with a 0.84% gain. The C Fund advanced 0.44% while the S Fund increased by 0.33%. The F Fund fell slightly by 0.07%.
