NEW YORK, June 14 (Reuters) -
The Nasdaq eked out a fifth straight record closing high on
Friday following gains in Adobe and other technology-related
shares, while the S&P 500 and Dow ended slightly lower.
The S&P 500 ended its four-day run of record closing
highs, but still climbed more than 1% for the week.
The S&P 500 technology sector rose 0.5%,
hitting another record high close. The communication services
sector rose 0.6%, leading gains among sectors.
Adobe shares jumped 14.5% a day after the
company raised its annual revenue forecast on more demand for
its artificial intelligence-powered software.
"You've had a big rally this week, led by big-cap tech.
Under the surface, we have a lot of areas acting weak," said
Adam Sarhan, chief executive of 50 Park Investments in New York.
The Russell small-cap index fell 1.6%, adding to
recent losses, while the S&P 500 industrials sector
was down 1%.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 57.94
points, or 0.15%, to 38,589.16. The S&P 500 lost 2.14
points, or 0.04%, at 5,431.6 and the Nasdaq Composite
added 21.32 points, or 0.12%, at 17,688.88.
For the week, the Dow was down 0.5%, the S&P 500 rose
1.6% and the Nasdaq was up 3.2%.
Investors are still trying to gauge how soon the Federal
Reserve might be able to cut interest rates.
Fed Bank of Chicago President Austan Goolsbee said he was
relieved after data this week showed inflation in May had
cooled, but he would still like to see "more months" of similar
data before cutting interest rates.
On Wednesday, Fed policymakers dialed back their
projections for three cuts this year to just one.
In a report on Friday, a preliminary reading of the
University of Michigan's Consumer Sentiment Index slipped to
65.6 in June, sharply lower than expectations.
Nvidia ( NVDA ) shares ended up 1.8% after briefly
surpassing Apple ( AAPL ) as the world's second-most valuable
company.
A BofA Global Research report showed U.S. value stock
funds had $2.6 billion of outflows, while investors poured $1.8
billion into U.S. growth stock funds in the week to Wednesday.
Volume on U.S. exchanges was 10.12 billion shares,
compared with the 12.10 billion average for the full session
over the last 20 trading days.
Declining issues outnumbered advancers on the NYSE by a
2.39-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 2.51-to-1 ratio favored decliners.
The S&P 500 posted 11 new 52-week highs and 16 new lows;
the Nasdaq Composite recorded 30 new highs and 192 new lows.
