Equity markets were largely down this week. Analysts blame this week’s nearly 20% surge in unemployment claims and the waning probability of a Federal COVID19 stimulus bill before year end. The tech heavy NASDAQ logged the worst performance (down 1.2%) while the Russell 2K continued to outshine its peers as the only major U.S. stock index to finish in the green (up 1%).
