Last Week In Review
As the week concluded, all major indices traded relatively flat for the week, as investors bought
on good news and sold on the bad. During the month of July, the Dow inched up 0.25%, the S&P slipped
0.99%, and the NASDAQ gained 1.42%. However, it was certainly a better showing than in June, during
which time the Dow dropped 10.2%, the S&P lost 8.6%, and the NASDAQ dipped 9.1%. As for the positives,
the recent economic data revealed that the Consumer Confidence Index for July stands at 51.9, up only
slightly from the revised 51.0 in June and slightly better than the reading of 50 predicted by
economists. Sales of U.S. exports grew at a 9.2% pace in the 2Q, up from 5.1% in the 1Q, while
consumer spending for the 2Q advanced at a 1.5% rate, better than the 1Q and the best showing since
the 3Q of last year. Adversely, there were reports that weighed heavily on investors including the
Commerce Dept.'s report that GDP grew at a 1.9% pace in the 2Q which disappointed investors as
economists had expected growth of 2.4%. Once again, home prices tumbled, this time by the steepest
rate ever in May as the housing slump intensified on a national scale. The 20-city index decreased
by 15.8% in May compared with a year ago, and the 10-city index plummeted 16.9%, its biggest decline
in its 21-year history. In a welcome response, the price of crude managed a marginal decrease from
last week to close at $125.10, while gasoline concluded at $3.898 a gallon, down 5.2% from its record
high of $4.114 on July 17th. With the price of crude beginning to show signs of stabilization, that
didn’t seem to affect earnings from the largest publicly traded oil company, ExxonMobil (XOM), which
boasted the highest ever quarterly profit of $11.7B on $138B in sales. The week ahead will see
numerous economic data including the important Personal Spending/Income, Factory Orders and Consumer
Credit reports for June, along with 2Q Productivity figures and ISM Service numbers for July.
The DOW closed the week lower, giving back a modest 44.29 points, or 0.3%, to close at 11,326.40.
The S&P finished the week up, gaining 2.53 points, or 0.2%, ending at 1,260.29. The NASDAQ, in turn,
concluded the week almost flat, adding 0.43 point, ending the week at 2,310.96.
