Last Week In Review

The Dow and S&P 500 rallied into a third straight session to close the week out as the NASDAQ slipped on Friday after disappointing results from Google Inc (GOOG) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT) drove a technology sell-off. In the final session of the week, GOOG shares lost 10%, while MSFT shares dropped 6.3%. Elsewhere, there were plenty of corporate headlines inside the financial sector to digest. On Tuesday, Wells Fargo (WFC) reported stronger earnings than expected, while on Thursday J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) reported results that pleased analysts, and Friday, Citigroup posted lower-than-expected losses and write-downs helping to boost the beleaguered sector after weeks of declines. In the same vein, a smattering of economic reports enticed the market as they were generally better than expected. Core inflation lengthened a more modest 0.2%, factory production increased 0.5%, and the number of initial claims expanded by a less-than-expected 18K people. The more destructive pieces of data were the CPI increasing 1.1%, and 5% over the past year along with wholesale prices escalating 1.8%, and 9.2% over the past 12 months. Retail sales also disappointed expectations. In a reversal of fortune, the price of crude fell more than $1 to close the week out at $128.88 a barrel, while just last week, oil hit an all-time high above $147 a barrel. Gas concluded the week at $4.105 a gallon, while diesel ended at $4.842. The economic data in the coming week isn't likely to be considered irrelevant to the trading action. There are key inflation reports in the form of the advanced reading for GDP and Chain Deflector, as well as the latest data on Auto Sales, Consumer Confidence and the Unemployment Rate. A total of nine Dow components will report this week, including 3M (MMM), AT&T (T), Boeing (BA), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), DuPont (DD), Pfizer (PFE), McDonald's (MCD) and Merck (MRK).


The DOW closed the week higher, adding 396.70 points, or 3.5%, to close at 11,495.70. The S&P advanced 1.7%, gaining 21.16 points, ending the week at 1,260.68. The NASDAQ was positive as well, accumulating 2.1%, or 48.70 points, ending the week at 2,287.78.
