Nuveen Asset Management’s Chief Equity Strategist, Bob Doll, provides his thoughts on the outcome of the sequestration vote in Congress. "U.S. equities advanced marginally last week, as the S&P 500 increased its gain to approximately 6.9% for the year. Markets were in a holding pattern during February, with minimal change in global equities or credit spreads and a slight rally in bonds. Broadly speaking, U.S. markets outperformed world markets and the dollar rallied."
