Wall Street limped to the finish line of its third losing week in a row.
The S&P 500 barely budged Friday, ending the day down by less than 0.1 percent. It lost more than 2 percent for the week, like other U.S. indexes.
The Dow edged up 25 points, and the Nasdaq composite slipped 0.2 percent.
August has been rough for the stock market, which has given back more than a quarter of the S&P 500’s torrid gains for the year’s first seven months. That’s in part because a swift rise in yields has forced investors to reconsider whether stocks got too expensive.
On Friday:
The S&P 500 fell 0.65 points, less than 0.1 percent, to 4,369.71.
