Stocks finished the week on a positive note as volume thins ahead of two holiday-shortened weeks. But Friday's gains weren't enough for one of the main market indexes to erase its weekly deficit.
At the close, the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.4% at 48,134, the broader S&P 500 was 0.9% higher at 6,834, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose 1.3% to 23,307. While the Dow and S&P 500 managed weekly wins, the Nasdaq ended the week down 0.7%.
