"Thursday's weak jobless claims and Mid-Atlantic manufacturing data made for Friday losses in Asian markets which tripped further losses in the U.S. where the Dow lost 0.5 percent to 10,222. The 30-year yield ended at 3.66 percent, down 20 basis points in the week. Oil fell another one percent to end at $74, down $2 on the week. Gold ended at $1,227, up $12 on the week.
