Wall Street glows as NYSE booms
People walk past a Christmas tree at the New York Stock Exchange on Friday in New York City. Wall Street finished a banner week on a positive note, borne higher by optimism about U.s.-china trade talks while Microsoft overtook Apple in market value. Major US indices all finished the session solidly higher to cap a strong week. The S&P 500’s weekly gain of 4.8 percent was the best since December 2011.
