Dow rallies 300 points to end another wild week on Wall Street; European stocks close higher, ending a volatile week for global equity markets
Stocks rallied on Friday as a rebound in bond yields eased fears of a recession that sent stocks tumbling earlier in the week.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 306.62 points, or 1.2%, to 25,886.01, while the S&P 500 gained 1.4%, or 41.08 points, to 2,888.68 and the Nasdaq Composite was about 1.7% higher at 7,895.99. Apple and Nvidia led the gains. The Dow, however, still lost 1.5% on the week.
Bond yields climbed back from their historic lows on Friday. The U.S. 30-year Treasury yield dropped to a record low on Thursday, while the yield on the benchmark 10-year notes dipped to a three-year low, as investors sought out safe-haven assets.
Chip maker Nvidia’s stock jumped more than 7% on Friday after it reported better-than-expected fiscal-second quarter earnings. Apple shares gained as investors bought back stocks beaten down by trade war fears.
European markets closed sharply higher Friday, as investors tentatively returned to riskier assets after a turbulent week. The pan-European Stoxx 600 index closed provisionally up almost 1.3%, with all sectors and major bourses in positive territory.
Looking at individual stocks, Switzerland’s Sunrise Communications was one European company in focus Friday. Germany’s Freenet said it would vote against a proposed capital increase by the Zurich-based firm to fund a takeover bid for UPC. Shares of Sunrise rose about 3.5%.
