Getting Going Again: Where the Markets Stand

U.S. stock trading was scheduled to restart at 9:30 a.m. Monday, assuming logistical challenges are met. Here’s where key market indicators stand as trading resumes:

* The Dow Jones industrial average ended last Monday at 9,605.51. The index had plunged nearly 9% between Aug. 1 and Monday, weighed down by more signs of weakness in the economy.

The Nasdaq composite index ended last Monday at 1,695.38, and the Standard & Poor’s 500 index closed at 1,092.54. The S&P; had inched up Monday after hitting its lowest level in nearly three years the previous Friday.

* Yields on Treasury securities, which began to trade on Thursday, fell by Friday to levels that haven’t been seen on some bonds in 50 years. Buyers were seeking safety and also were betting that the Federal Reserve soon will cut its key interest rate, now 3.5%, for the eighth time this year.

The yield on two-year T-notes fell to 2.87% on Friday. It had been 3.50% at the start of the week. The yield on 10-year-notes fell to 4.55% on Friday from 4.84% on Monday.
