  1. TSP Talk - Stocks bounce back after CPI

    Stocks came roaring back on Turnaround Tuesday after a favorable CPI report came mostly inline with estimates - maybe a little hot. Another 2-3 day pullback ended for the S&P 500 as the dip buyers did their thing. Small caps lagged as yields moved up because of the slight beat on inflation data. The move higher in yields meant the bond market and F-fund declined on the day.

  2. TSP Talk - Stocks remain volatile as NVDA falls again

    Friday's negative reversal day rolled over into Monday's open, as we might expect, and while we did get some negative returns at the close, the stock indices actually battled the bearish pressure and closed well off the lows of the day. The Dow actually closed in positive territory, but the weight of the losses in the semiconductor stocks kept the broader indices in the red, particularly the tech heavy Nasdaq. Bonds were down slightly as yields and the dollar ticked up.

  3. TSP Talk - Choppy weeks ends with a negative reversal on Friday

    It was a mixed and wild week for stocks last week and the jobs report capped the already volatile action with a negative reversal day that may have investors concerned coming into this week. Bonds were up but all three of the TSP stock funds were in the red on Friday. For the week the C-fund was pushed into into negative territory while the S-fund was up slightly, and the I-fund led with a nearly 2% gain for the week.

  4. TSP Talk - How long can this last?

    Stocks rallied on Thursday on more solid earnings from the tech sector. The Dow gained a modest 0.34% but once again the broader indices did much better. Yields and the dollar were down helping push bond prices higher as well. It's been quite a week and it ends today, but not until we deal with this morning's jobs report.

  5. TSP Talk - Stocks rebound filling overhead gaps

    Stocks rebounded on Wednesday after Tuesday's sell off. The gains were healthy although they weren't enough to gain back all of Tuesday's losses, but the highs did fill in some open gaps on the charts. The Dow gained a modest 76-points, or 0.20%, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq each gained about a half of a percent. Small caps outperformed the large caps, and the decline in the dollar helped the I-fund lead the way with a gain over 1%. Bonds rallied again on another drop in yields.
