May 19 Market Close: GovCon Index and Market Indices Close Week on a Strong Note


The Executive Mosaic GovCon Index ended the week on a positive note up 1.29 percent on the day and up 0.15 percent on the week. McKesson lead the GovCon Index posting a $11.57 per share value increase (8.18 percent) on yesterday’s strong quarterly earning report.

The major markets showed significant gains reversing the mid week slump with the DJIA recapturing 53 percent of Wednesdays losses.

At market close WTI closed up strongly to break through to $50 mark to a monthly high of $50.35 up 2.01 percent. WTI was up $1.51 or 3 percent for the week. There is still strong speculation that OPEC will confirm extending cuts through March of next year at their meeting in Vienna next week.
