Stocks edged up Friday to close a positive week, despite ongoing geopolitical turmoil. The S&P advanced 0.51% for the session, the Nasdaq -0.16% and the Dow 0.44%. However, the S&P and Dow have now climbed within 6% of their all-time highs while the Nasdaq 100 added almost 2% for the week. This performance may signal the end of the U.S. bear market over the winter. Again, energy led gains though all the major Dow components were resoundingly green.<\/p>\n

The momentum in natural resources lifted the TSX by 0.31% Friday back above 22,000 though falling just shy of Tuesday’s record high. By any measure, the TSX continues to have a winning year.
