Benzinga examined the prospects for many investors’ favorite stocks over the last week — here’s a look at some of our top stories.
The markets started the week showing strength, only to finish relatively flat, the S&P 500 was down by a marginal 0.32%, while the Dow Industrials edged 0.24% higher, and the Nasdaq Composite finished the week down by 0.78%.
Any optimism at the start of the week was damped on Thursday, when St. Louis Federal Reserve President James Bullard said interest rates are “not yet in a zone that may be considered sufficiently restrictive.”
On Friday, the National Association of Realtors reported U.S. home sales falling for the ninth consecutive month in October. Sales of previously owned homes fell 5.9% on a monthly basis, and are now down 28.4% from a year ago.
