Dow, S&P advance as Wall Street's key averages head toward weekly wins

Wall Street's major averages were mostly higher Friday, with consumer-related stocks and so-called Trump Trades among advancers, and the key indexes looked set for weekly gains. The Dow ( DJI ) +0.8% , looking for a third straight gain, and the S&P 500 ( SP500 ) +0.4% , on course for a fifth consecutive increase. The Nasdaq Composite ( COMP:IND ) +0.2% but has wobbled during the session. Retail stocks including Nike ( NKE ) and Walmart ( WMT ) were among the top gainers on the Dow, and the Consumer Discretionary and Staples sectors paced the S&P 500's ( SP500 ) advancers. With the holiday-shopping season underway, Gap ( GAP ) +11.8% said its stores were "off to a strong start," and raised its full-year outlook late Thursday. Gap ( GAP ) on Friday +8.8% . Ross Stores ( ROST ) +3.6% , also higher after its quarterly report . The key equity averages were moving toward weekly gains, including a potential 1.7% rise for the S&P 500 ( SP500 ). The benchmark was helped this week by Nvidia's ( NVDA ) Q3 beat in financial results and its strong AI outlook, as well as positive macro readings for weekly jobless claims and the housing market, Christopher Harvey, Wells Fargo's head of equity strategy, said in a note. "Trump trade" winners this week include small caps ( RTY ), mid-caps and bitcoin ( BTC-USD ), he said. The cryptocurrency traded above $99,000 on Friday. But "you're not alone if post-Election Day political uncertainties are making it difficult to assess the 2025 outlook. Risk/rewards keep us in SMID caps, Banks, and Comm Svcs," Harvey said. In the fixed-income market, the 10-year Treasury yield ( US10Y ) was down 1 basis point to 4.41%. The 2-year yield ( US2Y ) gained 2 basis points to 4.38%. On the economic calendar, the S&P Global U.S. Composite PMI preliminarily increased to 55.3 in November vs. 54.1 in October, marking a 31-month high. The November U.S. Consumer Sentiment Index was revised to 71.8 from its initial print of 73.0.
