Stocks Ended Mixed Friday and Logged Weekly Gains

U.S. stocks ended mixed on Friday, even amid a strong report on the U.S. labor market. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 64.22 points, or 0.26%, to 25,063.89, up 1.3% for the week. The S&P 500 climbed 2.43 points, or 0.09%, to 2,706.53, adding 1.6% for the week. The Nasdaq Composite shed 17.87 points, or 0.25%, to 7,263.87 but added 1.4% for the week.

Oil futures ended higher Friday, feeding a gain for the week as U.S. sanctions on Venezuela’s state-owned oil firm raised the risk of tighter crude supplies and a recent survey showed a considerable monthly decline in OPEC production. West Texas Intermediate crude oil for March delivery rose $1.47, or 2.7%, to settle at $55.26 a barrel. April Brent gained $1.91, or 3.1%, to $62.75 a barrel.
