The Markets (as of market close September 1, 2017)
Equities were back in the black last week, with each of the indexes listed here posting end-of-week gains. The Nasdaq soared to its largest weekly gain of the year. The large caps of the Dow and S&P 500 enjoyed noticeable gains, despite last Friday’s mundane jobs report. Even the Russell 2000, which had been lagging of late, climbed over 2.50% for the week and is now 4.16% ahead of its 2016 closing value.
