[转贴] Stocks Jump, but Snap 6-Week Winning Streak
Stocks rallied to close near session highs Friday after Bernanke reiterated that there is further room for the central bank to act and following reports the ECB is considering setting yield band targets in a new bond- buying program.
Still, all three major indexes failed to log gains for the week, with the Dow and S&P 500 snapping a six-week winning streak.
