Week 51 in Brief

How did the major indices perform?

U.S. stocks closed slightly lower on Friday despite closing at record highs on Thursday as Congress raced to avert a government shutdown and another relief package. Friday marked another “quadruple witching day” — the date when stock-index futures, stock-index options, stock options, and single-stock futures expire simultaneously, a potential source of volatility.
