US stocks end mixed amid trade war fears: Dow -0.3pc, Nasdaq +1.0pc

NEW YORK: Wall Street stocks finished mostly higher Friday as bargain hunting of technology shares offset worries of a trade war after President Donald Trump vowed tariffs on imported steel and aluminum and many other goods.

At the closing bell, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 24,534.52, down 0.3 percent.

The broad-based S&P 500 added 0.5 percent to end the week at 2,691.02, while the tech-rich Nasdaq Composite Index rose 1.0 percent to 7,255.58.
