Stocks end mostly higher, capping strong week of gains

Stocks booked small gains Friday as investors prepared for the three-day Memorial Day weekend, capping a strong week for equities as investor optimism over the lifting of lockdowns and prospects for a COVID-19 vaccine provided a lift. Investor cheer was dampened somewhat by signs of renewed tensions between the U.S. and China over Hong Kong, and Beijing's handling of the pandemic earlier this year.
