Euro risks continue; support for risk assets is “good enoughâ€
Over the past month, stocks have traded in a somewhat volatile pattern as investors have been weighing both the positives and negatives. Last week, despite some renewed flare-ups in terms of the ongoing European debt crisis, investors focused on the continued string of positive corporate earnings reports. For the week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.5% to 13,228, the S&P 500 Index advanced 1.8% to 1,403 and the Nasdaq Composite climbed 2.3% to 3,069.
