U.S. stocks end mostly higher ahead of Christmas break
(Friday market close) Major U.S. equity benchmarks...
(Friday market close) Major U.S. equity benchmarks ended mixed Friday but still posted their eighth consecutive weekly gains while one last round of data before the three-day holiday weekend gifted investors with further signs of easing inflation and consumer strength, bolstering hopes the new year will bring rate cuts from the Federal Reserve and a "soft landing" for the economy.

Earlier Friday, the Commerce Department reported the overall Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) price index fell 0.1% in November from October, contrary to expectations for a 0.1% increase. The PCE core rate, which excludes food and energy prices, rose just 0.1%, also below expectations. Compared to November 2022, core PCE was up 3.2%, the smallest annual increase since April 2021.

A sharp drop in Nike (NKE) shares, which plunged nearly 12% after reporting disappointing quarterly results, weighed on the Dow Jones Industrial Average^® (DJI). But the market otherwise is poised to end the year on a firm note amid growing optimism over inflation and prospects for Fed rate cuts. The eight-week winning streak for the S&P 500^® index (SPX) is its longest since 2017.

"The trend in inflation is decidedly lower," said Kathy Jones, chief fixed income strategist at Schwab. She noted that core PCE averaged 2% over the past six months, even with the Fed's long-term inflation target. "The market continues to price in significant rate cuts in 2024," she added.

Here's where the major benchmarks ended:

The S&P 500^® index was up 7.88 points (0.2%) at 4,754.63, up 0.8% for the week; the Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 18.38 points at 37,385.97, up 0.2% for the week; the Nasdaq Composite^® (COMP) was up 29.11 points (0.2%) at 14,992.97, up 1.2% for the week.

The 10-year Treasury note yield (TNX) was up about 1 basis point at 3.901%.

The CBOE^® Volatility Index (VIX) was down 0.62 at 13.03.
