The bond market initially came under pressure earlier in the week but rallied on Friday due to weaker-than-expected economic reports. The TLT ETF gained 1%. The DBC ETF was up 1.7%, primarily due to a rally in crude oil. Gold (GLD) also rallied to end the week with a gain of 2.3%. The US dollar (UUP) finished the week unchanged.
