The major U.S. indexes rallied on Friday after retail sales reports showed sales increased higher than predicted in June. The markets had a turbulent week as investors were concerned with inflation reaching a forty year high as well as new data showing discouraging quarterly results from the largest U.S. banks.
Despite Friday’s rally, all three benchmarks closed the week with losses. The S&P 500 climbed 1.92% to close at 3863.16 on Friday and was down 0.9% for the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 2.15% to close at 31288.26 on Friday and was down 0.2% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite climbed 1.8% on Friday to close at 11452.42 and slipped 1.6% for the week.
