TSP Market Summary: Week of May 22, 2016

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 remained range-bound between 2025-2084 for three weeks, showing market indecision
  • TSP equity funds (C/S/I) maintained moderate allocation due to sideways market movement
  • Market sitting at mid-range suggests continued uncertainty and potential for volatility

We’re three weeks into May and the S&P 500 has been constrained to a 59 point range. It hit a high of 2084 on 10 May, and just this past Thursday, hit a low of 2025. We finished Friday at approximately the mid-point of May’s 59 point range and as such, we’ll remain 55 percent invested in the equity funds (C/S/I).
