The Closing Bell: U.S. Stocks Rise, Dollar Falls As Data Back Hike

FYI: U.S. stocks were up slightly on Friday afternoon after a solid jobs report pointed to strength in the domestic economy and supported expectations the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week.

The S&P 500 was still on track to end down for the week, which would break its six-week streak of gains.
