How major US stock indexes fared Friday, 10/17/2025
Wall Street cruised to the finish of a winning week that began much bumpier.
The S&P 500 rose 0.5% Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.5%, and the Nasdaq composite climbed 0.5%.
The gains capped the S&P 500’s best week since August, but it was a roller-coaster ride. Indexes careened through jarring swings as worries built about the financial health of small and midsized banks, as well as the souring U.S.-China trade relationship. Bank stocks steadied themselves on Friday, while President Donald Trump eased some of the trade concerns after saying very high tariffs on China are not sustainable.
The S&P 500 rose 34.94 points, or 0.5%, to 6,664.01.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 238.37 points, or 0.5%, to 46,190.61.
The Nasdaq composite rose 117.44 points, or 0.5%, to 22,679.97.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies fell 14.84 points, or 0.6%, to 2,452.17.
The S&P 500 is up 111.50 points, or 1.7%.
The Dow is up 711.01 points, or 1.6%.
The Nasdaq is up 475.54 points, or 2.1%.
The Russell 2000 is up 57.58 points, or 2.4%.
