It finished slightly lower, with the utilities, materials, and communication services stocks among the biggest drag. Financials and technology advanced ahead of others.For the week, the S&P 500 gained 1.32 per cent, Nasdaq rose 2.38 per cent, and the Dow added 0.29 per cent. “No one expects the Fed to cut , but will they open the door for a cut as soon as September is the big question on everyone’s mind,” said Ryan Detrick, chief market strategist at the Carson Group, adding he still sees a September reduction on the table.
Other so-called meme stocks, including AMC Entertainment and Koss Corp, fell 15.1 per cent and 17.4 per cent, respectively.
