The week started off on a sour note as Chinese stocks tumbled on Monday after the latest industrial profits data declined for the sixth straight month. US data was mostly disappointing as well, with key regional readings in Chicago and Dallas dropping sharply. The 2-, 5-, and 7-year treasury auctions all showed poor results and dragged yields higher for the week. Crude oil prices dripped lower again and continued to exert influence on broader markets. US stocks alternated red and green in the post-holiday week as the S&P flipped back and forth from positive to negative on the year. For the week, the DJIA was down 0.7%, and the Nasdaq and S&P500 each lost 0.8%. For the year, the DJIA fell 2.2%, the Nasdaq gained 5.7%, and the S&P500 slipped 0.7%, its first losing year since 2011.
