Overview
Wall Street closed higher on Friday for the fifth consecutive session, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average reaching a record high amid positive economic indicators. The S&P 500 rose 0.3% and the Nasdaq added 0.2%. The strong performance is attributed to a surge in business activity, expectations for lower interest rates, and gains from retailers like Gap.
