Equities were very much a mixed bag last week, as trading was generally quiet ahead of the Memorial Day weekend. The S&P 500, which closed at an all-time high, continued its positive trend, gaining 0.16%. But the Dow and Global Dow fell back into negative territory. The Nasdaq and Russell 2000 posted moderate gains. A relatively strong housing starts report and an uptick in the Consumer Price Index may have helped drive U.S. Treasury yields higher. The lack of heavy trading may be the result of relatively mundane economic news during the week, the wrap up of corporate earnings season, and assurances from the Federal Reserve Chair that interest rates aren't moving up in the near future.
