ETF Rewind - Week 36 (09/04/09)

(Click Image to Enlarge/ Glossary)

In spite of higher markets across the board after Friday's Jobs report showing a higher than expected unemployment rate set against fewer job losses and greater household earnings, US equities finished the week mostly lower with the S&P 500 (SPY) down some -1.3%. In fact, among the tracked ETFs, only Emerging Markets (EEM), Transports (IYT), Consumer Staples (XLP) and Precious Metals (DBP) were spared for the week.

Holiday shortened Week Thirty-Seven of 2009 features a commensurately briefer economic calendars, as follows:

• Yahoo! - U.S. Economic Calendar
• Yahoo! - U.S. Earnings Calendar
