The U.S. stock market closed Friday trading in a negative zone after updating record highs a day earlier. At the same time, the main indicators finished the week much better: the S&P 500 increased by 1.3%, Dow Jones - by 0.4%. The Nasdaq was up 3.1%.
Investors continue to watch the negotiations on new fiscal stimulus in the USA. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Friday that discussions "remain productive." "I'm even more optimistic now than I was last night that a bipartisan and bicameral framework for an important bailout package is very close," CNBC reports him as saying.
