EDITOR'S NOTE
Dip-buying was on full display Friday as the stock market rebounded from the sell-off on worries about the Federal Reserve tapering its bond purchases.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 225.96 points to close at 35,120.08, lifted by Microsoft, Cisco and Salesforce. The S&P 500 rose 0.8%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed nearly 1.2%.
Still, the major averages suffered a losing week after the Fed's July meeting minutes showed that the central bank started considering dialing back its $120 billion a month bond-buying program this year. The blue-chip Dow fell 1.1%, while the S&P 500 declined nearly 0.6% for the week. The tech-heavy Nasdaq fell 0.7% this week.
"In many ways, the market has become addicted to the Fed's liquidity spigot, and so any mention of tightening policy can cause some indigestion," said Ross Mayfield, investment strategy analyst at Baird.
Next week, Fed officials will meet virtually for their annual economic policy symposium, which is normally held in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Investors will closely watch the event, searching for clues on the timeline and pace for the central bank's reduction of its asset purchases. TOP NEWS
