Stocks struggled for most of Friday's session and closed lower. They were down on a weekly basis, but the long-term trend remains up for all three main U.S. equity indexes as participation continues to broaden beyond the Magnificent 7. And incoming economic data remains solid.
By the closing bell, the broad-based S&P 500 was off 0.06% at 6,940, the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had slipped 0.06% to 23,515, and the blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 0.2% at 49,349.
