[$$] Markets Gain Strength as Treasury Yields Retreat
The Standard & Poor’s 500 index rose 43 points, or 1.6%, in the session to end the week at 2,747, while the Nasdaq Composite was up 1.8% to 7,337. Equity investors lately have focused on the bond market and the upward move in the 10-year Treasury note yield toward 3%. General Electric (GE), the subject of a negative Barron’s cover story last week (“General Electric’s Dim Prospects,” Feb. 17), was the focus of subsequent investor attention as the company’s chief financial officer, Jamie Miller, appeared at two investment conferences and said the company has no plans to raise equity.
