The Dow Jones Industrial Average edged up to another record high while declines in tech stocks pulled other indexes lower.
The Dow added 0.3% Friday. The S&P 500 slipped 0.1%, a day after setting an all-time high for the 42nd time this year. The Nasdaq composite gave back 0.4%.
The market closed out another winning week as hopes hold that the economy can pull off the feat of getting painfully high inflation under control without a recession. Treasury yields eased after a report showed inflation and growth in consumer spending slowed by a touch more than expected.
