Market Recap for the week ending 01/06/2012
The new year got off to a moderately encouraging start, beginning with solid reports on
manufacturing and construction and ending with a fourth month of improved employment data.
The NASDAQ took the lead — it was the first week since early October in which its
gains outpaced those of the other three domestic indexes. Not surprisingly, the Global Dow
continued to be sluggish.
