Wall Street rallied out of its holiday-season funk.
The S&P 500 climbed 1.3% Friday, its best day in nearly two
months and its first gain since Christmas. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average rose 0.8%, and the Nasdaq composite gained
1.8%.
Big Tech stocks led the way, and Nvidia and Tesla in particular
helped pull the market higher. They offset drops for beer, wine
and liquor companies after the U.S. Surgeon General warned of
cancer risks related to alcohol. Treasury yields ticked higher
in the bond market following a better-than-feared report on U.S.
manufacturing.
On Friday:
The S&P 500 rose 73.92 points, or 1.3%, to 5,942.47.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 339.86 points, or 0.8%, to
42,732.13.
The Nasdaq composite rose 340.88 points, or 1.8%, to 19,621.68.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 36.80 points,
or 1.6%, to 2,268.47.

The S&P 500 is down 28.37 points, or 0.5%.
The Dow is down 260.08 points, or 0.6%.
