This past week saw a handy recovery for the broad markets after suffering a 4% loss just two weeks ago. While the Dow Jones industrials and S&P 500 recovered, the Nasdaq continued to slide. However, the Dow can keep this recovery going with one-third of its components reporting this week.
Ten of the index’s 30 components are expected to share their results this week. The index is down about 5% in the past 30 days, although it is still up about 10% in 2018.
