US equity markets closed in positive territory on Friday, extending a broad-based rally that has lifted major indices toward record levels.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average, S&P 500, and Nasdaq Composite all finished the session higher, capping a week of renewed investor confidence in risk assets.
The indices opened little changed at the start of the trading day but reversed course during the session, driven by steady buying interest across sectors.
The Nasdaq Composite led the advance, outpacing the broader S&P 500 and the more value-oriented Dow Jones Industrial Average, signaling continued strength in growth and technology stocks.
This move follows a pattern of positive momentum seen earlier in the week.
US equity markets opened higher on Monday, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posting early gains as investors returned to risk assets.
