Stocks ended mixed on Friday, but managed to cling to weekly gains as investors eyed the economic impact of COVID-19 restrictions in Europe. The S&P 500 fell 0.3% to 3,841. The Dow Jones Industrial Average shed 179 points, or 0.6%, to 30,997, based on preliminary numbers. The Nasdaq Composite was up 0.1% to 13,543, setting a new closing record on Friday.
