Nasdaq .IXIC managed a tiny gain for Friday's session marking its fifth straight closing record high in a row marking the first time it had such a run since an 8-day stretch of closing records between Oct 28 and Nov 8 in 2021.
In contrast, the Dow Industrials .DJI had started the week with a gain before falling for the final four days.

Among the S&P 500's 11 major industry sectors, only three advanced on Friday. Communication services .SPLRCT rose ~0.6% while technology .SPLRCT added 0.5%. Consumer staples .SPLRCS was virtually unchanged adding 0.01%.
