  1. TSP Talk - Better, but mixed action as bulls still not jumping

    Stocks were mixed yesterday with large tech stocks leading on the upside, while those region banks pulled down the small cap indices. The gains in the S&P 500 gave the C-fund to a gain, but the S-fund took a hit from those bank stocks, and the I-fund lagged with the dollar bouncing back yesterday. Bonds were down as yields spiked after a 0.50% rate hike announcement out of the Bank of England.

  2. TSP Talk - Day 3 of the pullback. It's the bulls turn to push back or...

    Stocks opened lower on Wednesday but we saw dip buyers move in quickly and take the indices well off their lows, and into positive territory in some cases. But the selling resumed in the final hour of trading and the indies closed near their lows of the day. This is particularly important to the S&P 500 which is now sitting on key support levels.

    After six positive days in a row, stocks ended the week on a sour note with some modest losses on Friday, but overall it was a solid week for the stock market. It was a quadruple witching expiration Friday so trading volume was very high, and sometimes that leads to a change in direction for stocks, at least temporarily. Bonds were down as yields moved up as the market tries to decide if higher interest rates are coming, or if a weakening economy will bring them lower again.

  5. TSP Talk Weekly Wrap Up - A Hawkish Pause



    I hope you've been in stocks through June. All three TSP stock funds are up more than 5.5% for the month and were up more than 2% this week. Stock indices started the week off with gains and the momentum carried on through Tuesday after the release of the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The latest year-over-your CPI was up 4% which was low enough for investors to bet on a rate pause by the Federal Reserve the following day. They were correct.
