Global policy remains a critical catalyst
After a couple of weeks of declines, markets managed to recover a bit last week, although they appear to remain mired in the same sloppy trading pattern they have been in for the last month. For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 1.4% to 13,029 and the S&P 500 Index advanced 0.6% to 1,378. In contrast, the Nasdaq Composite fell 0.4% to 3,000 due in large part to a sharp decline in Apple’s stock price.
