How major US stock indexes fared Friday
Stocks closed broadly higher Friday as investors bet that a report showing the U.S. added fewer jobs than expected last month increases the odds that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates in coming months.
The rally capped a week of gains that gave the benchmark S&P 500 index its best week since late November and reversed most of the market's losses in May.
