Stocks slightly retreated during New York’s morning session on Friday, following another robust week of gains fueled by a dovish Federal Reserve meeting, which underscored Chair Jerome Powell‘s readiness to initiate interest rate cuts this year.
The S&P 500 remained flat for the day but boasted a 2.3% increase for the week, marking its most significant weekly gains since December 2023, holding above 5,200 points.
