Market Update Into 7/12: Broad Markets Book 3rd Straight Week of Gains After Thursday’s Decline
Leading U.S. benchmarks wiped out last week’s losses after treasury yields moved up on Friday to edge the major indexes to close at new all-time highs. On Thursday, the broad market looked to end the week lower on renewed fears of a rise in the new COVID-19 delta variant and its impact on the global economy; however, an increase in U.S. wholesale inventories reported last week combined with the uptick in treasury yields was a signal that inflationary pressures appear to be easing; putting off any worries of near term action from the Fed.
