TSP Market Summary: Week of March 12, 2016

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 crossed above its 200-day moving average at 2020, signaling potential upward momentum
  • All three stock funds (C, S, I) now showing positive performance and beating the F fund
  • Technical breakout suggests increased confidence in equity allocation over bond holdings

The S&P 500 crossed that 2020 level I mentioned last week and closed Friday at 2022. Crossing the S&P 500’s 200 day moving average of 2020 was a bullish sign and as such, we’re recommending an increased allocation of 60 percent to the equity funds (C/S/I). What also occurred this week was that the S and I funds moved into positive performance ranking territory to join the C fund and also moved above the F fund.
