MHCV Out Performs the Dow, as Fed Head Yellen Notes Economy Slowdown

stock__report_March_27If underlying conditions had truly returned to normal, the economy should be booming,” said Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen said in a talk in San Francisco. She ticked off a few other considerations: The strong dollar is hurting exports, lower oil prices have led to reduced drilling, and the housing market recovery has slowed.

The Big Board reflected her subdued tone: the Dow Jones Industrial Average moved up only +0.19 percent, +34.43 points, to end the week at 17,712.66. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq advanced +0.57 percent, +27.86 points to close at 4,891.22, while the S&P 500 similarly gained, +0.24 percent, +4.87 points to finish at 2,061.02.
