Wall Street rallied out of its holiday-season funk.

The S&P 500 climbed 1.3 percent Friday, its best day in nearly two months and its first gain since Christmas. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.8 percent, and the Nasdaq composite gained 1.8 percent.

Big Tech stocks led the way, and Nvidia and Tesla in particular helped pull the market higher. They offset drops for beer, wine and liquor companies after the U.S. Surgeon General warned of cancer risks related to alcohol. Treasury yields ticked higher in the bond market following a better-than-feared report on U.S. manufacturing.

On Friday:

The S&P 500 rose 73.92 points, or 1.3 percent, to 5,942.47.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 339.86 points, or 0.8 percent, to 42,732.13.

The Nasdaq composite rose 340.88 points, or 1.8 percent, to 19,621.68.

The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 36.80 points, or 1.6 percent, to 2,268.47.

For the week:

The S&P 500 is down 28.37 points, or 0.5 percent.

The Dow is down 260.08 points, or 0.6 percent.

The Nasdaq is down 100.35 points, or 0.5 percent.
