Summary
Wall Street ended mostly flat on Friday as a broad market rally fueled by easing oil prices (Brent crude dropping 3.8% to $72.60) was offset by declines in AI-related stocks. The S&P 500 slipped less than 0.1%, the Dow fell 0.1%, and the Nasdaq dropped 0.2%, marking just the second losing week for the S&P 500 in 13 weeks. Weakness in major AI winners also dragged down Asian markets earlier in the day, while Treasury yields eased.
