The financial horizon was cloudy before the Friday market opened. European indexes were in the red and Friday morning's Advance Estimate on March retail sales was well below expectations.
The S&P 500 opened lower and slid to its intraday low, off 0.84% by late morning. Gloomy Michigan Consumer Sentiment number contributed to the drag. But the index battled back through the afternoon and trimmed the closing loss to 0.28%. Any misgivings about Friday were amply offset by the majestic gain of 2.29% for the week.
Here is a 15-minute look at the week.
