S&P 500 Snapshot: Selloff Ends With A Modest Gain
Doug Short | Mar 29, 2015 12:27AM ET
Friday was a mixed bag of economic data. Hopes for an upward revision to Michigan Consumer Sentiment for March was an improvement on the preliminary reading, but it was below the February final and well off the January 11-year high. The S&P 500 spent the day in a narrow range, ending with a modest 0.24% gain, which snapped a four-day selloff. The index was down 2.33% for the week, its second worst weekly performance of 2015 (the worst being the -2.77% plunge in late January).
The yield on the US 10 Year T-Note fell 7 bps to 1.95%.

Here is a weekly chart of the index, which is now a bit below its 10-week moving average. Volume was unremarkable.
