S&P Flat For the Week After Two Record Closes

Published 07/27/2014, 01:38 AM

The S&P 500 set record highs on Wednesday and Thursday, but by week's end the index had gone nowhere. It ended the day with a 0.48% loss and the week with a miniscule 0.01% advance from Friday's close. The 500 fared a bit better than key Eurozone indexes: Germany's DAX fell 1.52% and France's CAC 40 gave up 1.82%.

The yield on the 10-year note ended the day at 2.48%, down 4 bps from yesterday's close. It is now 4 bps above its interim closing low of May 28th.

Here is a 15-minute chart of the week. The S&P 500 is up 7.03% year-to-date.
