Stocks reclaiming gains lost in correction
Here's something for investors beaten down by the market's sharp declines this spring: The Dow Jones industrial average just had its best two weeks since November.
The Dow's gain of 16 points on Friday was relatively modest, but it capped a surge of 5.2 percent over the past two weeks that puts the average nearly halfway back to the high for the year that it reached on April 26.
Stocks had a longer winning streak earlier this year, but a sharp drop in May brought the Dow down as much as 12.4 percent below its 2010 high.
The Dow rose 16.47, or 0.2 percent, to close at 10,450.64. The Standard & Poor's 500 index rose 1.47, or 0.1 percent, to 1,117.51. The Nasdaq composite index edged up 2.64, or 0.1 percent, to 2,309.80.- AP
