The Closing Bell: Stocks Climb 1% For April Despite Weak GDP Data

edited April 2017 in The Bullpen
FYI: U.S. equities closed lower on Friday as investors digested economic data and key corporate earnings, but looked to close April with strong monthly gains.

The Dow Jones industrial average slipped about 40 points, with Intel and Goldman Sachs contributing the most losses. The S&P 500 fell 0.2 percent, with financials and telecommunications leading decliners. The Nasdaq composite hit a fresh record high before closing marginally lower.
Regards,
