TradingMarkets 7 Stocks You Need to Know for Friday
Stocks closed higher across the board on this final full trading day of the Thanksgiving holiday week. The U.S. Dollar suffered, hitting 15-month lows against the Euro while uplifting new home sales figures added to the equity bullish environment. Perhaps paradoxically, gold hit another all time high as the yellow metal gains widespread acceptance. The DJIA added 30.69, the tech heavy Nasdaq closed up 6.87, and the broad based S&P 500 climbed 4.98.
