Benzinga has examined the prospects for many investors' favorite stocks over the past week, while offering a 24/7 news feed, live chat and charting software on Benzinga Pro.
Investors finally got a break this week, as all three major indexes finally registered a gain for the week. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite ended seven straight weeks of losses, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average brought an eight-week losing streak to a close.
The S&P 500 was up 6.09% for the week, the Nasdaq saw an even bigger comeback with a gain of 6.45%, and the Dow Industrials advanced by 5.79%.
While the rally brings a moment of relief to the markets, storm clouds remain on the financial horizon. Investors are staying cautious in light of the Fed's May meeting minutes, released this week, which show agreement by central bank officials for proceeding with multiple 50 basis point rate hikes.
