"DataBank; A Good Week: Up, Up, Up, Turkey and Up Again"
"The stock market rose for the fifth consecutive week, buoyed by rising consumer confidence, moderating oil prices and optimism about the intentions of the Federal Reserve.
Stocks rose during every session of trading. Markets were closed on Thursday for Thanksgiving, and closed early on Friday, at 1 p.m. in New York.
But the trend for stocks was unmistakably bullish. Minutes released on Tuesday from the last meeting of Federal Reserve policy makers suggested that the central bank might stop raising short-term interest rates soon. On Wednesday, the University of Michigan's consumer confidence reading for November was stronger than that of the previous month. And the futures price of a barrel of oil in New York closed at $58.71, higher than last week's $56.14 but 17 percent below its August peak.
For the week, the Dow Jones industrial average rose 165.29 points, or 1.5 percent, to close at 10,931.62. The Standard & Poor's 500-stock index gained 19.98 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at 1,268.25. The Nasdaq composite index climbed 35.94 points, or 1.6 percent, to close at 2,263.01. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note declined to 4.43 percent from 4.49 percent the previous week.
