S&P 500 Snapshot: Second Correction In Two Months

By Kurt Osterberg · On April 7, 2018

The S&P 500 saw another correction this week less than two months after the last correction on February 8. The index plunged on Monday, rising throughout most of mid-week only to end Friday with a weekly loss of 1.38% and a daily loss of 2.19%. It is down 3.39% YTD and is 9.34% below its record close.

 

The U.S. Treasury puts the closing yield on the 10-year note at 2.77%.

Here is a daily chart of the S&P 500. Today’s selling puts the volume 15% below its 50-day moving average.
