The S&P 500 rose Friday, supported by strength in a handful of major technology names, closing out the week on a positive note despite lingering geopolitical uncertainty.

Nvidia Leads the Charge

Nvidia rose around 4% on the day, providing a key source of support for the broader index as investors continued to favor AI-linked hardware names.

Nasdaq and Dow Also Advance

The Nasdaq Composite added nearly 0.3%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained close to 150 points, with all three major indexes finishing the week higher.

Mega-Cap Momentum

Big Tech names, particularly the “Magnificent Seven,” led a broader market rebound over the week, posting a combined gain of nearly 5% even as small caps and materials stocks lagged behind.

The Bigger Picture

The move keeps the S&P 500 within striking distance of its all-time closing high, reinforcing the narrative that this remains an earnings-led rally rather than one driven purely by rising valuations.
