Economic Week in Review: Service-sector activity downshifts again
December 09, 2011
Growth in service-sector activity slowed for the third month in a row as other economic reports issued mixed signals. News from Europe continued to weigh on the markets, even as some European Union nations announced a plan to address the debt burden plaguing the EU economies. For the week ended December 9, the S&P 500 Index rose 0.9% to 1,255.2 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about 1.8%). The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose 2 basis points to 2.07% (for a year-to-date drop of 123 basis points).
