Major U.S. stock indices posted their largest weekly percentage gains since March 2009 as U.S. economic data showed unemployment dropped to a two and a half-year low. U.S. companies stepped up hiring, and the jobless rate moved to 8.6% from 9%.
The Dow rose 7%, the S&P 500 climbed 7.4% and the Nasdaq was up 7.6% for the week. The S&P has been knocking on the door of its 200-day moving average, and its 50-day trend line is heading up.
The Dow Jones industrial average closed the week at 12,019.42; the S&P 500 settled at 1,244.28, and the Nasdaq Composite ended at 2,626.93.
The 10-year Treasury, which correlates most closely with mortgage rates, closed at a yield of 2.05%. Mortgage interest rates were flat to higher for the week.
The U.S. trade deficit narrowed in October for the fourth month in a row, to $43.5 billion from a revised $44.2 billion the month before, despite record imports from China.
