How major US stock indexes fared Friday, 3/8/2024

Wall Street pulled back from its record heights following a shaky day of trading, putting at least a temporary halt to its huge rally since Halloween. The S&P 500 slipped 0.7% Friday from its all-time high. It initially climbed after mixed data on the U.S. job market bolstered hopes for easier interest rates. Later, it swung to a loss after one of its most influential stocks, Nvidia took a rare stumble following its jaw-dropping rise. It was just the third losing week for the S&P 500 in the last 19.
