The S&P 500 closed at a record on Friday, as the index marked the first time since November 2021 that it hit closing highs every day in a week.
The market benchmark rose 0.4%. The Nasdaq Composite rose 0.2% to mark its ninth record close in 10 sessions. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 208 points, or 0.5%, to finish within striking distance of its Dec. 4 record close.
The market has mostly shrugged off tariff worries ahead of an Aug. 1 deadline and cruised through earnings season. The CBOE Volatility Index was down to just north of 15, signaling relatively low volatility.
