As markets opened for the final trading session of the week, Wall Street saw the S&P 500 rise 0.1% to hover near 5,920. The benchmark index, which has posted four straight days of gains, could notch a fifth consecutive win to bolster investor confidence.

The S&P 500 is up 4.5% over the past week. Notably, it continues to rally after erasing all of its 2025 losses.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq Composite showed mixed performance. In early trading, the Dow fell 70 points, while the Nasdaq gained more than 0.2%. Week-to-date, the Dow is up 2.6%, and the Nasdaq has climbed 6%.

A thawing in the U.S.-China trade tensions, on the back of this week’s announcement of de-escalation measures, also has investors upbeat.
