Markets Post Best Week of 2025 Despite Friday Decline

US stocks wrapped up a wild week in the markets with a modest decline on Friday, but still secured their best week of 2025 due to a historic rebound on Wednesday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite outperformed expectations, driven by strong gains on Wednesday.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 3.2% this week, while the S&P 500 Index increased 3.7%. The Nasdaq Composite followed suit with a 5.2% gain. These numbers mark the largest one-week point and percentage gains since the weeks ending November 8 and January 17.

Despite the pullback on Friday, markets are set to conclude the week on a high note, with Wednesday’s rebound playing a crucial role in securing their best week of 2025.
