Monday, May 24, 2021 – Growth and value stocks seemed to battle it out last week leaving the major U.S. equity indexes with mixed and minor overall movements. A deceleration in housing starts and existing home sales from April did little to move markets as investors appeared more focused on upcoming reports.
Perhaps the biggest headlines and market movements centered around the big sell off in cryptocurrency. The yield on the 10 Year Treasury remained steady decreasing just one basis point to 1.63% seemingly indicating a lack of concern around inflation.
For the week, the DJIA dropped 174.29 points to 34,207.84, the Nasdaq was the single gainer for the week picking up 41.01 points to 13,470.99 and the S&P 500 slipped 17.99 points to 4,155.86.
