S&P 500 Snapshot: A Record Close To End The Week
Doug Short | Apr 26, 2015 01:02AM ET
The pre-market economic news was the release of the March Durable Goods , which had a strong headline number, but Core Capex posted its seventh consecutive decline and is down 4.0% year-over-year. The S&P 500 vacillated in the opening minutes and then trudged higher to its 0.38% intraday record high. The index then moved sideways most of the afternoon before settling for a 0.23% closing gain -- enough for a new all-time record close.
Today the yield on the 10-year Note closed at 1.93%, down three bps from the previous close but above the 1.87% close last Friday.
