TSP Market Summary: Week of September 30, 2014

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • Extreme daily volatility with Dow moving 100+ points each day, but week ended positive
  • C Fund (S&P 500) maintains leadership position among TSP funds despite market choppiness
  • Six-week range-bound pattern suggests market uncertainty and potential continued volatility

If you like roller coasters, then last week in the markets was for you with the Dow having more than 100 point moves every day. At least the ride finished on a positive note with a higher Friday close. Again, the "C" fund is still leading the way, but the overall market seems to be range bound over the past six weeks.
