TSP Market Summary: Week of July 29, 2017

By Roy Weisert, PhD, CFP

Key Takeaways

  • S&P 500 and Dow hit record highs but week ended flat, showing market consolidation
  • All three TSP equity funds (C/S/I) showing bullish trends, stay fully invested
  • July jobs report next Friday could set August market tone, watch for volatility

The market had some record highs this week with the S&P 500 closing on Wednesday and the Dow closing on Friday. All told, it was more of a consolidation week as the S&P 500 finished the week at 2472, within one point of last Friday. Next week we have a lot of economic news, including Friday’s July employment report, which may set the tone for August. Due to the bullishness of the three TSP equity funds (C/S/I), we recommend remaining 100% invested with no allocation changes.
