Ben Levisohn

It’s easy to look at the week that stocks had and say the worst is over. The Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA –0.15%  rose 0.8%, while the S&P 500 SPX –0.08%  gained 1.9% and the Nasdaq Composite COMP +0.12%  climbed 4.6%. The Nasdaq even managed to string together five consecutive up days, its longest winning streak since November 2021.
