The Closing Bell: Wall St. Rises, Dow Racks Up Seventh Straight Weekly Gain
FYI: U.S. stocks on Friday ended a thinly traded session with slight gains as the “Santa rally” that has taken indexes to repeated records lost steam in the final trading days before the holidays.
However, major indexes posted gains for the week, and while the Dow once again failed to pierce the closely watched milestone of 20,000, the blue-chip gauge logged its seventh consecutive weekly gain. That streak matches its longest weekly run since the period between Oct. 4, 2014 and the first week of December 2014, according to FactSet data.
