Year to Date Change for the DJIA, Nasdaq, and S&P 500 Indices U.S.A.: All three
primary stock indices in the U.S. are tracking positively according to year to
date change at this point. The Nasdaq is higher by 8.11 percent according to YTD
change. The S&P 500 is positive by 4.7 percent according to YTD change at this
point. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is positive by 3.63 percent according to
YTD change. The indices have benefited by several weeks of positively skewed
economic reports in the U.S. this calendar year so far. The latter half of this
past week was not as supportive however. Stock Market Index Trends; Dow Jones,
Nasdaq, S&P 500 News Today: The last week of trading in the U.S. ultimately
ended with uncertainty. The mid-week announcement by the Federal Reserve last
week received primary attention. Secondary attention was paid to the GDP report.
The reports were received with mixed reviews and that is how the primary indices
ended the week overall. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the last week
of trading negatively skewed by .5 percent. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 managed to
maintain positive ground for the week overall. The Nasdaq finished the week
higher by just over 1 percent and the S&P 500 finished the week higher by just
.07 percent. Frank Matto
