Wall Street closed higher on Friday, with all three major indices recording weekly gains as investors were encouraged by data showing strong economic activity in the United States.

The S&P 500 rose 0.3%, or 19.55 points, to 5,968.26, and the Nasdaq Composite added 0.1%, or 26.45 points, to 18,998.87.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average recorded the largest increase, gaining 1%, or 423.28 points, to 44,293.63.

In Europe, the benchmark index reached a one-week high on Friday, driven by a surge in real estate stocks. Reduced geopolitical tensions also eased recent selling pressure.

The pan-European Stoxx 600 rose 1.2%, its strongest daily gain in almost two months. This helped the index achieve a 1.1% weekly gain, ending a four-week losing streak, the longest since May 2022. /TISG
