How major US stock indexes fared Friday 2/10/2023

The Associated Press

Stocks drifted to a mostly higher close on Wall Street but still closed out their worst week since December.

The S&P 500 rose 0.2% Friday. Weakness in tech stocks pulled the Nasdaq composite lower, while the Dow gained ground. Energy companies rose with the price of crude oil.

Stocks have been struggling since rallying at the start of the year on hopes that the economy could avoid a severe recession, and that cooling inflation could get the Federal Reserve to take it easier on interest rates. Lyft lost more than a third of its value following a weaker-than-expected forecast.
