U.S. Stocks managed to close with modest gains on Friday, which allowed the market to have a positive close for the week. Among the major averages, the Dow Transports lead the way with a weekly gain of almost 4%. This compares to a gain of only 1.1% for the Nasdaq Composite. The Dow Industrials and S&P 500 were both up over 2% for the week.
Among the best performing industry groups for the week were the REITs as well as copper and silver mining stocks. All of these groups are a pure bet on economic recovery. With that in mind, it is a good idea to pay attention to these groups going forward.
This week we have a few important economic reports such as new home sales and the inflation data. This is also options and futures expiration week, so be aware of the potential for volatility.
