All three major indices finished superbly by the end of trading on Friday and had one of the best weeks of the year overall. The Dow, S&P 500 and Nasdaq ascended substantially, will all three seeing increases between 2.1 and 2.8 per cent. Dow and Nasdaq were both nearing record highs on Thursday although there was no major facilitator to cause the soar. It seems that investors are expecting the stocks to reach new highs in the coming weeks and therefore continue to trust in the bull market’s sustainability. Friday’s momentary sell-off was due to worse-than-expected data, but did not impact hugely the largely successful week of strong performance by the three major indexes.
