Wall Street Investors Block Out Market Volatility Triggered by War

The S&P 500 Index has climbed almost 10% since March 27, heading for a third consecutive week of gains. Over the same period, the Nasdaq 100 Index has advanced roughly 12%, rattling off 10-straight sessions in the green — its longest winning streak since 2021.
