The U.S. stock market finished its zigzag week full of tariff threats and cancellations with a quiet and tentative close.
The S&P 500 closed barely changed Friday and notched a second straight week with a modest loss. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 0.6%, and the Nasdaq composite rose 0.3%.
The majority of U.S. stocks fell, including Intel, which gave a weaker financial forecast for upcoming results than analysts expected. The U.S. dollar’s value slid against the Japanese yen, euro and other currencies, while gold rose to another record in a signal that nervousness remains in the market.

The S&P 500 rose 2.26 points, or less than 0.1%, to 6,915.61.
