BLUFElection clarity sparks a broad market rally across TSP funds
· Sent · By Reveille Brief Team

Bond yields fell as the election outcome eased worries about government borrowing, and a weaker dollar gave international stocks an extra lift.

TSP 101
The five TSP funds move differently because they hold different kinds of investments: the G Fund holds government securities, the F Fund holds bonds, and the C, S and I Funds hold stocks from large U.S. companies, smaller U.S. companies, and international companies respectively. That's why the same day's news, like an election or an oil price swing, can push one fund up while barely touching another.
