Abstract: The stock market rallied again last week and commodity prices surged to their biggest monthly gains since 1974, while Treasury yields bounced up and down. For the month of May, the MSCI World index rose 8.7 percent, its best monthly performance in more than 30 years, according to Bloomberg. The futures price of a barrel of crude oil in New York settled at $66.31 a barrel on Friday, up from $61.67 the previous week, and its highest close since November. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
