How major US stock indexes fared Friday, 9/27/2024

The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up to another record high while declines in tech stocks pulled other indexes lower.

The Dow added 0.3% Friday. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, a day after setting an all-time high for the 42nd time this year. The Nasdaq composite gave back 0.4%.

The market closed out another winning week as hopes hold that the economy can pull off the feat of getting painfully high inflation under control without a recession. Treasury yields eased after a report showed inflation and growth in consumer spending slowed by a touch more than expected.

On Friday:

The S&P 500 fell 7.20 points, or 0.1%, to 5,738.17.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 137.89 points, or 0.3%, to 42,313.

The Nasdaq composite fell 70.70 points, or 0.4%, to 18,119.59.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 14.83 points, or 0.7%, to 2,224.70.

For the week:
