NEW YORK (AP) — Most of the U.S. stock market is rising Friday after oil prices eased back to where they were before the war with Iran, but drops for AI stocks are keeping the market in check.
The S&P 500 rose 0.2% after recovering from an early loss of 0.9%. The index at the heart of many 401(k) accounts is still on track for its second losing week in the last 13, largely because of drops for stocks swept up in the mania around artificial-intelligence technology.
