The stock market opened higher Friday as the S&P 500 continued its rapid recovery and battled to emerge unscathed from a volatile and eventful November.
The S&P 500 was up 0.2% shortly after the open on a shortened half-day for the market on Friday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was 0.2% higher and the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.4%.
The S&P 500 is now down just 0.1% in November, with just a few more hours trading left this month. That’s quite the turnaround from just a week ago. The index is on a four-day winning streak, climbing more than 4% over the period–its best four-day gain since May when the U.S. and China slashed tariffs on each other’s goods.
