U.S. stocks rose in early trading Friday, putting major indexes on course for gains at the end of a choppy week on Wall Street.
The S&P 500 ticked up 0.4% after the broad stocks index closed out its biggest monthly loss since March last year. The S&P through Thursday had fallen 3.3% so far this week, which would be its biggest decline since a 5.6% drop in late October 2020.
