With the trading day more than halfway over, the broad markets made a big push higher to close out the week after a series of down days. Earlier this week, stocks were plagued with bad economic numbers and geopolitical concerns, but these concerns seem to have abated. However, it does look like the S&P 500 will be posting its first weekly decline in three weeks.
