The S&P 500 index SPX, +1.61% rose about 1.6% on Friday, its best daily percentage gain since Jan. 20, according to FactSet data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +1.17% gained 1.2%, or about 386 points, ending near 33,386, based on preliminary figures. The Nasdaq Composite Index COMP, +1.97% rose 2%. The 10-year Treasury rate TMUBMUSD10Y, 3.
