  1. TSP Talk Weekly Wrap Up - AI Saved the C-fund



    A rally in tech stocks and optimism for a debt-ceiling deal over the weekend saved U.S. stocks from weekly losses. The S&P 500 spent most of the week in negative territory after a flat Monday and nearly 2% in losses over the next two days. The early losses were a product of debt-ceiling anxiety. The June 1st deadline set by Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen comes next week and there is still no deal made on raising the debt-ceiling.

  2. TSP Talk: Nvidia leads a very mixed market

    Nvidia's earnings created a very weird day for stocks on Thursday as the Dow was down slightly but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq shined. The rally could be a sign that the pre-holiday reversal is over, but then again we didn't see gains across the board with small caps and the I-fund lagging badly, and about 2 stocks down for everyone up on the NYSE and Nasdaq.

    The indices continued to retrace last week's big 2-day rally, and perhaps right on cue as we enter the pre-holiday reversal period, and the debt ceiling deadline quickly approaching closer.

  5. TSP Talk: Bulls and bears at standoff

    After a mini-breakout in the S&P 500 last week, stocks chopped around on Monday in a tight range, closing mixed but mostly positive. The Dow lost 140-points with retail, energy and large banks dragging the index down, while the S&P (C-fund) and the I-fund were flat, and the broader indices like the Nasdaq and small caps saw modest to strong gains. Bonds were flat to slightly lower as yields continue to rise.
