Economic Week in Review: U.S. consumers take on more debt
February 10, 2012
In a light week for economic news, the U.S. trade deficit increased and U.S. consumer borrowing rose. The trend of fewer people applying for jobless benefits continued, a sign that hiring is picking up. For the week ended February 10, the S&P 500 Index declined 0.2% to 1,343 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about +7.0%). The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 1 basis point to 1.96% (for a year-to-date increase of 7 basis points).
