U.S. equities finished mixed on Friday in their first session after the Juneteenth holiday, concluding a subdued week marked by modest declines. The S&P 500 slipped 0.22% and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell 0.51%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average inched up 0.08%. Trading volumes were light as investors weighed geopolitical risks from the escalating Israel-Iran conflict and uncertainty surrounding Washington’s 145% tariff regime, both of which have kept oil prices and bond yields volatile. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note edged up to 4.41% from 4.38% late Wednesday. Corporate news offered some pockets of activity. Kroger advanced 6.8% after the grocer topped profit expectations and raised its full-year sales outlook. Used-car retailer CarMax gained 4.6% on stronger-than-forecast quarterly earnings, while gun-maker Smith & Wesson plunged 15.3% after reporting softer demand and warning that inflation and tariff concerns are pressuring sales. Despite Friday’s muted finish, the three major benchmarks logged their second straight weekly loss as investors await clearer signals on the economic impact of tariffs and the Federal Reserve’s next policy moves.
