Major indexes ended higher on Wall Street Friday but not enough to erase the market’s losses from earlier in the week.
The S&P 500 added 0.8% but still posted a weekly loss after two weeks of gains. The benchmark index set a record high on Monday.

The S&P 500 rose 35.87 points, or 0.8%, to 4,441.67.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 225.96 points, or 0.6%, to 35,120.08.
The Nasdaq rose 172.87 points, or 1.2%, to 14,714.66.
The Russell 2000 index of smaller companies rose 35.18 points, or 1.6%, to 2,167.60.
