The Dow shot up more than 200 points on Friday, scoring its
best day since Jan. 2, and the S&P 500 ended a two-week losing streak on
Friday after U.S. jobs data eased investors' worries that the Federal Reserve
may be reducing its stimulus program in the near future.
The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq posted their best daily percentage
gains since April 16.
All three major U.S. stock indexes rose more than 1 percent for
the day, extending gains toward the session's end, with the S&P consumer
discretionary index .SPLRCD and other growth sectors leading the way higher.
The consumer discretionary index rose 1.8 percent. The S&P industrials
index also advanced 1.8 percent.
