The stock market experienced a mixed day on Friday, with major equity indexes posting weekly gains despite a weaker-than-expected report on US retail sales. Investors seemed to shrug off concerns over President Trump’s tariffs and sticky inflation.
The S&P 500 closed just shy of its record high as it slipped at the end of the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average and Nasdaq Composite also logged weekly gains, indicating a positive trend ahead of the Presidents Day weekend.
