TSP Market Summary: Week of December 15, 2014

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 struggled to stay above 2000 level, indicating market weakness across stock funds
  • Falling interest rates provided bright spot for F fund bond investors this week
  • Potential Santa Claus rally could boost markets before year-end; reallocations coming

The markets had a tough week as the S&P 500 remains just above that 2000 level. The only bright spot was that interest rates continued to fall which helped out the F fund. Hopefully we'll still get a Santa Claus rally to finish out the year and stand by for reallocations next week.
