Let's take a look at how markets performed this past week... US Equities closed the week on a high note, with the Dow Jones industrial average hitting a record. This marked the Dow's third consecutive week of gains. The S&P 500 dipped slightly on Friday, while the NASDAQ composite followed due to a 2% decline in Nvidia.
