Associated Press
Wall Street shook off a weak start and ended a wobbly day mostly higher.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Friday, bringing its weekly gain to 3.2%.
Crude oil prices fell after notching six straight gains, which weighed on energy stocks. Small-company stocks did more than twice as well as the rest of the market this week, a bullish signal suggesting that investors expect the economy is on the path to recovery.
Overseas, Hong Kong’s main index fell 5.6% after China made more moves to limit political opposition in the former British colony. European markets and bond yields were mixed.
