  • The S&P 500 edged out gains of 0.1% - notching gains in five of the past six weeks - but the Mid-Cap 400 pulled back 0.7% and the Small-Cap 600 declined 0.5%.

  • Real estate equities were among the leaders amid a frenetic week of M&A news and impressive earnings reports. The Equity REIT Index gained 1.3% with 16 of 19 property sectors in positive territory.
