The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed Friday at 13,157.97 up 100.51 or 0.77% from Thursday's close of 13,057.46. For the week the Dow is down 117.23 or 0.88% from last Friday's close of 13,275.2.

If Friday morning before the market opened you had purchased 100 shares of each of the Dow Jones Industrial Average 30 shares (assuming you could buy fractional shares and assuming no transaction costs) and sold at the close you would have made $1,298 ($169,930 - $168,632).
MarketWatch.com Fri. 3:56 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks tallied strong gains Friday, with the Dow industrials bouncing back following a four-session slide, after Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said the U.S. central bank has more tools, if needed, to stimulate the economy.
The end-of-week push higher “doesn’t represent much that you can sink your teeth into,” said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott.
“Volume is light and most people are probably headed to the Hamptons,” said Luschini, adding that Wall Street will “come back and see what Europe has to say” after the Labor Day holiday on Sept. 3.
The final week of summer trading has Bernanke scheduled to speak at an annual gathering in Jackson Hole, Wyo., next Friday, with the Fed chairman followed by European Central Bank President Mario Draghi the following day.
“Best case, Bernanke will say, ‘Here’s our tools, but we don’t need to use them, and by the way, Congress better get its act together’,” said Art Hogan, strategist at Lazard Capital Markets, of the Fed chairman’s repeated calls on lawmakers to move on fiscal policy.
In position for its first weekly decline in seven, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose as much as 104 points and was lately ahead by 93.93 points, or 0.7%, at 13,151.39, in position for a 0.7% weekly loss.
Off 0.6% from the week-ago close, the S&P 500 SPX+0.65% gained 8.70 points, or 0.6%, to 1,410.78, with telecom the best performing and the natural-resource sector the sole laggard of its 10 industry groups.
The Nasdaq Composite COMP+0.54% rose 17.15 points, or 0.6%, to 3,070.55, a level that leaves it 0.2% lower on the week.
For every five stocks declining eight rose on the New York Stock Exchange, where 351 million shares traded as of 3:40 p.m. Eastern. Composite volume topped 2.1 billion.
Treasury prices mostly fell, with the yield on the 10-year note /10_YEAR+0.42% at 1.681%. The dollar DXY+0.33% gained against other global currencies, including the euro EURUSD-0.4537%.
Gold futures GCZ2-0.07% added 10 cents to finish at a more than four-month high of $1,672.90 an ounce. OilCLV2-0.34% fell 0.1% to $96.15 a barrel.On Friday, the government reported orders for U.S. durable goods rose 4.2% in July on increased demand for airplanes and automobiles, but bookings softened in other sectors.
“The U.S. is taxiing forward slowly. The numbers this morning were good, particularly capital-goods shipments outside the defense sector,” said David Kelly, chief market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds.
In a letter released Friday, Bernanke said the Fed has the means to take further steps to bolster the economy.
Is a correction looming?
Worries about slowing global growth and that the Fed has run out of bullets to jump-start the economy have been the main culprits for the Dow’s recent decline.German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras held talks, with both reportedly saying they want Greece to remain in the euro zone, and Merkel saying Germany expects Greece “to stick to its commitments.” .
“They’ll give him time, but not more money, which is what he really needs,” said Kelly of Samaras’ request for more time to reach fiscal goals.
The European Central Bank is considering a plan to set band targets for yields in the euro zone under a new bond-buying program, Reuters reported Friday, citing unidentified central bank officials.

MarketWatch.com Thurs. 4: 24 pm by Kate Gibson says US stocks
