The Closing Bell: US Stocks Gain Ground As Banks And Industrial Companies Rise

TedTed
edited March 2018 in Fund Discussions
FYI: U.S. stocks edged higher Friday after several days of losses. Energy companies rose with the price of oil and banks and industrial companies are also up. While retailers are mostly higher, jewelry chain Tiffany fell after a weak sales report and disappointing forecast. The S&P 500 has slipped for four days in a row and is still down 1 percent this week.
Regards,
Ted

    I believe I heard they were down for the week.

    @Derf: You are correct, for the week, the Dow fell 1.5%, the S&P lost 1.2%, and the Nasdaq declined 1%.
