REUTERS: Wall Street clawed back some losses on Friday after its biggest one-day decline in three decades, as investors set their hopes on more global fiscal stimulus to stem a coronavirus-driven global recession.

Hotel operators Marriott International Inc , Hilton Worldwide Holdings and Hyatt Hotels Corp all gained at least 1per cent.
