TSP Market Summary: Week of January 10, 2015

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • High market volatility with daily 100+ point Dow swings impacted C Fund performance
  • U.S. stock funds (C/S) positioned to lead if upward market trend continues as expected
  • Volatile conditions may persist, requiring careful monitoring of equity fund positions

If you like markets that go up and down, last week was the week for you. Every day featured over a 100 point move on the Dow Jones Industrial Index. All told, the Dow closed down just under 100 points from the previous Friday. Hopefully this week will not be as volatile and the market will continue on its upward trend, with U.S. markets leading the way.
