Stocks Rise for Second Week as Tariff Shock Fades: Markets Wrap

Wall Street’s risk-on brigade pushed the S&P 500 to its longest winning streak in two decades, with scars from April’s tariff shock healing on fresh signs of US-China diplomacy.

The S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 rose more than 1% each on Friday, notching a second straight week of gains. A dollar index dropped. Treasuries slid, with the policy-sensitive two-year yield jumping over 10 basis points to 3.83%. Oil slipped as OPEC+ discussed making another major production increase. With demand for havens fading, gold suffered a second consecutive week of losses.
