US stocks closed higher, ending
the week on an upbeat note, as investors continued to gauge the
development of US-China trade scenarios, and the market was backed by
the latest consumer sentiment.
The Dow Jones Industrial
Average on Friday rose 6.44 points, or 0.02 per cent, to 27,681.24. The
S&P 500 was up 7.90 points, or 0.26 per cent, to 3,093.08. The
Nasdaq Composite Index increased 40.80 points, or 0.48 per cent, to
8,475.31, Xinhua reported.
More than half of the 30 blue-chip stocks in the Dow traded higher around market close.
Eight
of the 11 primary S&P 500 sectors traded higher around the closing
bell, with the health care sector up 0.8 per cent, leading the winners.
Shares
of Walt Disney rose 3.76 per cent, after the entertainment giant
reported third-quarter earnings that came above market estimates.
The
currently solid corporate earnings season has also underpinned Wall
Street. So far, of the 425 S&P 500 companies that have reported
quarterly earnings, 74 per cent have topped analysts'forecast, CNBC
quoted FactSet as saying.
On the economic front, the early
November reading on consumer sentiment rose to 95.7 from 95.5 in
October, beating market estimates, despite a slightly less favorable
outlook of consumers for their own personal finances, according to a
survey of consumers by the University of Michigan released on Friday.
