Stocks looked set to tick lower on Friday, with S&P 500 and Dow futures pointing to both gauges edging away from the record levels they'd set in the previous trading session.
The Dow Jones and S&P 500 hit new highs and the Nasdaq topped key levels as growth led the day 2 reaction to Fed rate cuts.
The U.S. stock market was declining midday Friday, but all three major benchmarks remained on course for weekly gains after a sharp rally in the wake of the Federal Reserve’s rate cut on Wednesday.
Wall Street hit the brakes on its post-Fed rally to start a triple-witching Friday session. The Dow was down 46 points, or 0.1%, while the S&P 500 was down 0.2%. The Nasdaq Composite slipped 0.1%.
