The Dow Jones also ended the week with positive growth, surging 0.9% to close the month positively by adding 1.9%. The Nasdaq Composite came off with different performance, closing 1.5% lower to record its worst performance in seven months.

Unusually, the positive performance of the stock indices was not driven by the FAANG stocks or major tech firms. Facebook Inc (NASDAQ: FB) recorded a 1.21% loss to close Friday’s session at $328.73 per share.

S&P 500, Dow Jones Growth Boosted by Growing Savings Rate

The broad performance of the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones was backed by the boosted savings rate which came in at 14.9% last month, as well as the consumer spendings that etched upwards by 0.5% per the estimates.

This economic metric appears enough for investors as the overall inflation indicated, the personal consumption expenditures index came in at 3.1% for April, a figure that is higher than the projected 2.9%.

“This report puts the Fed in a really good place, inflation is up, but real yields are still low. This is basically the transitory sweet spot,” said Jamie Cox, managing partner at Harris Financial Group.

Other stocks that received increased retail investor activities include Reddit favorite, GameStop Corp (NYSE: GME) which ended the day with a loss of 12.64% after recording impressive growth in the intraday session. GameStop shared are exchanging hands at $222.70 in the After Hours session.

In all, the US stock market is proving to be recovering gradually from the woes of the COVID-19 pandemic. The vaccination program is yielding fruits as economic activities are returning back to the pre-pandemic levels.
