Stocks Rise to Cap Week of Volatile Yields and Oil

The Dow Jones Industrial Average snapped a three-session losing streak on Friday, closing the week with gains. The broader market also advanced, supported by a rebound in technology shares and easing concerns over interest rates.

Yields on U.S. Treasurys increased throughout the week, reflecting investor expectations for prolonged monetary tightening. The 10-year Treasury yield climbed to its highest level in over a month, weighing on rate-sensitive sectors early on.

Oil prices remained volatile, swinging sharply as traders weighed supply disruptions against demand worries. West Texas Intermediate crude settled higher for the week, but the choppy trading underscored uncertainty in the energy market.

Despite the weekly gains, market strategists cautioned that inflation data and Federal Reserve policy signals could drive further volatility in the coming sessions. Investors now look ahead to key economic reports for direction.
