The 1:01 tape was a draft. 4 p.m. is the grade.
Yahoo Finance close, Friday, matching AP / Stan Choe: Dow Jones 51,828.62, up 478.64 from Thursday’s 51,349.98, +0.9%. S&P 500 7,743.41, up 39.28 from 7,704.13, +0.5%. Nasdaq Composite 27,068.72, up 129.34 from 26,939.37, +0.5%. Russell 2000 2,837.55. Midday we had Dow 51,730.62 at 1:01 p.m. ET. The last hours added about 98 points. Do not smash 51,829 into 51,731 as if they are the same print, and do not smash either into Thursday’s 51,350. 51,829 is the close. 51,731 at 1:01 already ran as a tape. AP: first winning week in the last three.
