April 19 Market Close: GovCon Index Up as Markets Close Mixed


The Executive Mosaic GovCon Index closed up as advancing stocks outpaced declining 2 to 1.

U.S. markets closed mixed as the economy grew at modest to moderate rates per the Bloomberg report. IBM reported weak earnings which helped hold the markets back.

At market close WTI was also down $1.86 to $ 50.55 per barrel in response to the US increase in gasoline supply last week as reported by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
