Stocks slipped on Friday as the S&P 500 attempted once more to reach its February record high. Here's how the major averages performed: - The Dow rose 34 points. - The S&P 500 fell 0.02%. - The Nasdaq lost 0.21%.
"With the S&P 500 failing to puncture its February 2020 highs despite a few attempts this week, many observers believe it's a clear sign of exhaustion," Frank Cappelleri, executive director at Instinet, said in a note. Cappelleri noted three Demark indicators — measures used by technicians to gauge market momentum — have seen sell signals pop up over the past 10 days.
"While these don't always pinpoint a top and/or precede a huge drawdown, over the last three years, the S&P 500 eventually has pulled back to where these signals first hit every time," Cappelleri said. This week's back-and-forth action came as investors rotated between the major tech stocks — Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Netflix and Microsoft — and shares of companies that would benefit from the economy reopening., the Commerce Department said. That's below a Dow Jones estimate of 2.3%. Excluding autos, however, retail sales rose 1.9% to top a forecast of 1.2%.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., has said she will not restart talks with Republicans on the matter until they increase
