August 29 Morning Report: GovCon Index Posts Friday, Weekly Loss on Federal Reserve’s Rate Hike Outlook


GovConIndexDOWNExecutive Mosaic’s GovCon Index closed Friday with a 0.359-point drop to 81.205 and recorded a second straight weekly loss following Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s comments on a potential interest rate hike.

Yellen has told central bankers in Wyoming the current low unemployment rate and increased price stability has strengthened the case for another interest rate hike potentially next month.

Textron (NYSE: TXT) was the lone GCI-S&P 500 stock to close Friday in the positive, while 18 GCI companies posted weekly gains with five also included in the S&P 500.
