U.S. stocks finish up on the week higher

FXStreet (Guatemala) - U.S. stocks picked up yet again on optimism in the US economy. The Standard & Poor’s rallied to a record high with health-care shares leading and energy producers benefitting on the back of oil prices.

The S&P 500 finished up 2.78 points at 1,962.26 as the sixth straight day closing higher and its longest winning streak since April while the DJIA was also up 26.26 points at 19,947.72. The performances in the stocks remind us that the Fed’s policy is to keep rates low while Yellen also settled concerns in respect of higher inflation with a focus of putting more American’s back to work. Else where, Obama is now sending in U.S military advisers to aid the Iraqi army battle an insurgence.
