Economic Week in Review: Signs of modest improvement even as worries mount
June 10, 2011
On the heels of a dismal unemployment report last week, economic indicators showed slight improvement amid recent signs that the uneven recovery is beginning to slow. The U.S. trade deficit unexpectedly narrowed, consumer credit rose more than anticipated, and the Federal Reserve's Beige Book release reported overall economic growth. For the week ended June 10, the S&P 500 Index fell 2.2% to 1,270.98 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about 1.9%). The yield of the 10-year U.S. Treasury note was unchanged for the week at 2.99% (for a year-to-date decrease of 31 basis points).
