How Major U.S. Stock Indexes Fared Friday

by

Stocks rallied on Wall Street, climbing to their biggest gain in six weeks.

The S&P 500 jumped 1.6% and marked its first winning week in the last four. Big gains for tech giants like Apple helped propel the Nasdaq composite to an even bigger gain of 2%. The Dow Jones Industrial Average also rose.

The gains came as easing bond yields took some pressure off of the stock market. Stocks have found their feet following a swift rise and fall to start the year. Reports on the economy were mixed, which helped to slow the swift recent ascent for Treasury yields.

On Friday:

  1. The S&P 500 rose 64.29 points, or 1.6%, to 4,045.64.
  2. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 387.40 points, 1.2%, to 33,390.97.
  3. The Nasdaq composite rose 226.02 points, or 2%, to 11,689.01.
  4. The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 25.60 points, or 1.3%, to 1,928.26.

For the week:

  1. The S&P 500 is up 75.60 points, or 1.9%.
  2. The Dow is up 574.05 points, or 1.7%.
