Economic Week in Review: Growing at a modest but uneven pace
April 27, 2012
The U.S. economy grew at a slower pace in the first quarter of 2012 than in the previous quarter, according to the closely watched gross domestic product (GDP) report. Other economic data supported the view that the recovery continues to advance at a modest but uneven pace. For the week ended April 27, the S&P 500 Index rose 1.8% to 1,403 (for a year-to-date total return—including price change plus dividends—of about 12.3%). The yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note fell 3 basis points to 1.96% (for a year-to-date increase of 7 basis points).
