Weekend Market Update

Nov. 7-8, 2009

Unemployment rose to a 26-year high of 10.2%, the government said Friday. Employers cut 190,000 jobs from their payrolls in October, after cutting 219,000 in the previous month, according to a Labor Department report.

Stocks were undaunted by the bad news, with a worst-is-over view and a recognition that the pace of job losses is easing. All three major averages were up for the week, and the DJIA closed back above the 10,000 mark after two weeks of selling.

General Electric led stocks, rising 6.2%, after two analysts upgraded the stock to "outperform." Fannie Mae reported an almost $19 billion quarterly loss on bad loans. The biggest U.S. mortgage lender also said it would need more help from the Treasury. Shares fell 7.1%.

The 10-year Treasury closed at a yield of 3.5%.
