Wall Street Fundamentals Releases New In-Depth Stock Reports on APOL, GME, MS and WMT

ACCESSWIRE

U.S. markets rallied Friday as the May payrolls report increased more than expected, but not enough to sway the Federal Reserve’s decision on monetary tightening. On Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average posted a 1.38 gain, while the S&P 500 increased 1.28 percent. The Labor Department reported 175,000 jobs were created in May, topping the consensus forecast of 164,000. “I don’t think this [the nonfarm-payrolls report] is going to push them too far one way or the other. The unemployment rate is still above their target, and other than gasoline prices, we’re not seeing much in the way of inflationary forces that would scare them,” said Bruce McCain, chief investment strategist at Key Private Bank. Here is how some companies in the S&P 500 reacted Friday:

Apollo Group Inc. (NASDAQ:APOL - News) shares traded in the range of $20.32 to $21.32 Friday before settling to close at $21.30, an increase of 5.13 percent.
