S&P 500 Snapshot: A Friday Rally, But Flat For The Week
Doug Short | Jul 12, 2015 01:14AM ET
Friday pre-market futures were on steroids with news that Greece submitted a bailout plan to its creditors. Futures drifted higher as the Shanghai Composite posted a 4.57% Friday gain, and some of the Eurozone indexes were rallying in the 2%-3% range. The S&P 500 surged at the open, and moved higher in a couple of waves to its 1.46% intraday high early in the final hour. Some late profit taking trimmed the gain to 1.23%. That was enough to put the index back in the green year-to-date, up 0.86%, but it was a hair shy of logging a gain for the week, which closed with a -0.01% loss.
The yield on the 10-year note ended a volatile week at 2.42%, the top of its 20 bps 5-day range and up 10 bps from yesterday's close. But today's close was only a 2 bps change from last Friday's 2.40% close.
Here is a 15-minute chart of the past five sessions.
