Economic Week in Review: Hopeful signs emerge
November 18, 2011
After sputtering for months, the U.S. economy began to show some hopeful signs. Industrial output, retail sales, and a gauge of potential future economic activity all climbed substantially in October from September, while also significantly exceeding analysts' expectations. Consumer and producer prices declined. For the week ended November 18, the S&P 500 Index fell 3.8% to 1,215.65 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about –1.6%). The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 3 basis points to 2.01% (for a year-to-date drop of 129 basis points).
