According to Yahoo News, U.S. stocks fell slightly on Friday, but the weekly gains were about 2% or more, and bond yields continued to fall. The S&P 500, Nasdaq and Dow Jones Industrial Average all rose 2% or more this week. This is because the inflation data was lower than expected, increasing hopes that the Federal Reserve will end its interest rate hikes. Traders began to predict that the central bank will turn to rate cuts next year. On Friday, the 10-year Treasury yield continued to decline. Meanwhile, oil prices rose slightly after a sharp drop on Thursday.
