The past week saw solid gains for the main indexes, as the Dow Jones Industrial Average climbed 1.9 percent to finish Friday at 12,986.80. The Standard & Poor's 500 broad-market rallied 2.7 percent to 1,425.35 while the tech-dominated Nasdaq composite vaulted 3.4 percent for the week to 2,528.85. The Dow blue-chip index is now lower by just 2.1 percent for the year, having recouped most losses from the first quarter. The S&P is down 2.9 percent and the Nasdaq off 4.6 percent. "We remain impressed by stock market action," said Al Goldman, chief market strategist at Wachovia Securities. "Bad news is no longer killing the market, and bits of good news are well received," he added. "Sooner or later investors realize that the economy will eventually turn back up and the current supposed 'insurmountable problems' will be surmounted. This is called 'looking beyond the valley to the peaks ahead,' and that's the market phase we continue to believe we are in." Economic data remain mixed. US homebuilding showed a surprisingly strong jump in April, with starts rising 8.2 percent in April from March to an annual rate of 1.032 million units. Inflation data showed prices generally in check, but consumer confidence fell further, suggesting spending may remain weak despite a massive tax rebate program as part of the government's 168-billion-dollar economic stimulus. Linda Deussel at Federated Investors said the US economy appears to have weathered the housing and credit crisis, which would be positive for stocks. "If we're right, and the worst of the credit crisis is behind us, we think the key issue is the nature of the current economic slowdown, and the potential for leakage into non-financial sectors," she said. She said the US economy "will skirt recession," as a result of aggressive Federal Reserve interest-rate cuts and more than 100 billion dollars in tax rebates. "We're no longer near the abyss, as systemic risk appears to have abated," she said. "From here, the big question is how much further stocks can run, and whether this is the time to buy financial stocks." Michael Hanson, economist at Lehman Brothers, said it may be too soon to bank on a strong recovery. He noted a sharp drop in automobile sales, which affects the manufacturing sector and suggests consumers are hurting. The 0.2 percent drop in retail sales "likely reflects tighter consumer lending and higher fuel prices that in coming months may spill over into other expenditure categories," Hanson said. Hanson added that the tax rebates will provide only a temporary boost to spending, mainly in the third quarter. "Once the transitory income gain from the rebates has passed, consumption should revert to a lower level, producing a technical pullback in the growth rate for fourth quarter," he said. "With home prices not expected to bottom until the end of 2009, the wealth effect from housing also will likely continue to exert a negative influence on consumers over time." In the coming week, investors get a light menu of economic data but will focus on minutes to be released from the Federal Reserve's April 29-30 monetary policy meeting for clues on the central bank's next move on interest rates. Also on tap are reports on the producer price index -- a gauge of inflation at the wholesale level -- and existing home sales for April. Bonds dipped in the past week. The yield on the 10-year Treasury bond increased to 3.850 percent from 3.767 percent week earlier and that on the 30-year bond rose to 4.579 percent against 4.524 percent. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions.
