Stocks rally to end week, as investors see silver lining in jobs reportDow +455.43 at 24331.32, Nasdaq +141.66 at 9121.34, S&P +48.61 at 2929.80 [BRIEFING.COM] U.S. stocks extended weekly gains on Friday, as the market saw reasons to stay positive on the economic outlook despite the dismal employment report for April. The S&P 500 (+1.7%), Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.9%), and Nasdaq Composite (+1.6%) advanced more than 1.5%, while the Russell 2000 rose 3.6%. The gains were broad, with all 11 S&P 500 sectors and all 30 Dow components closing in positive territory. Relative strength was found in the S&P 500 energy (+4.3%), industrials (+2.5%), materials (+2.4%), and consumer staples (+2.3%) sectors, while stocks in the health care sector (+0.5%) underperformed. In April, nonfarm payrolls declined by 20.5 million (Briefing.com consensus -21.00 million), and the unemployment rate increased to 14.7% (Briefing.com consensus 16.2%). Those were the worst readings in the post-World War II era, but the number of unemployed persons said to be on "temporary layoff" increased about ten-fold to 18.1 million in April. The latter is noteworthy because its shows that most workers who were recently laid off are optimistic in being reemployed. That sentiment would be consistent with 1) the market's view that the jobs data can't get any worse and 2) news that more companies are restarting operations as states move along with their reopening plans. Apple ($AAPL 310.13, +7.21, +2.4%) plans to reopen stores in several U.S. states next week. Boeing ($BA 133.44, +4.79, +3.7%) plans to reopen its 737 MAX factory later this month. Uber ($UBER 32.79, +1.86, +6.0%) observed ride-sharing growth over the past three weeks, and tickets to Walt Disney's ($DIS 109.16, +3.59, +3.4%) Shanghai theme park sold out within minutes. Separately, U.S.-China tensions appeared to simmer today after the two sides reportedly pledged to make progress on their Phase One trade deal.
