How major US stock indexes fared Friday

U.S. stock indexes finished unevenly Friday even as the Dow Jones Industrial Average eked out another all-time high.

Losses in technology companies and retailers offset gains in energy and industrial stocks. A late-afternoon pullback coincided with “quadruple witching” day, when options and futures contracts expire, usually triggering heavy trading, and came ahead of a realignment of S&P 500 sectors next week.

On Friday:

The S&P 500 index dropped 1.08 points, or 0.04 per cent, to 2,929.67.

The Dow gained 86.52 points, or 0.3 per cent, to 26,743.50, a record.

The Nasdaq composite lost 41.28 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 7,986.96.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies gave up 7.87 points, or 0.5 per cent, to 1,712.32.

For the week:

The S&P 500 gained 24.69 points, or 0.8 per cent.

The Dow added 588.83 points, or 2.3 per cent.

The Nasdaq lost 23.09 points, or 0.3 per cent.

The Russell 2000 dropped 9.40 points, or 0.6 per cent.

For the year:

The S&P 500 is up 256.06 points, or 9.6 per cent.

The Dow is up 2,024.28 points, or 8.2 per cent.

The Nasdaq is up 1,083.56 points, or 15.7 per cent.

The Russell 2000 is up 176.80 points, or 11.5 per cent.
