Week 43 in brief

North America

A Friday rally on Wall Street stocks sent all major US indices higher, ending the session up about 2.5% or more and ending in weekly gains. The moves were majorly fuelled by encouraging economic data and a sunnier earnings outlook fueled investor risk appetite ahead of next week’s much-anticipated two-day policy meeting of the Federal Reserve.

This marked the second week in gains for the S&P and the Nasdaq while the blue-chip Dow posted its fourth consecutive weekly advance and its biggest weekly percentage gain since May.
