The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1.8 percent, or 575 points, to 33,212.96, a 6.2 percent weekly gain.

The S&P 500 rose 2.5 percent to 4,158.24, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index rose 3.3 percent to 12,131.13.

It was the Dow’s first weekly gain in eight weeks, and the S&P 500 and Nasdaq’s first weekly gains in seven weeks.

Friday’s gains build on a rebound that began on Wednesday, reversing the losses that equities have suffered for the majority of the year as the Federal Reserve tightens monetary policy in reaction to inflation.
