US stocks ended nearly unchanged in light trading on Friday, with the Dow, S&P 500, and NASDAQ edging nominally lower to snap a five-session rally. Still, all three indexes logged gains for the holiday shortened week. Just three trading days remain in a turbulent year in which tariff jitters, simmering geopolitical tensions, and the rapid growth of AI related momentum stocks took investors on a bumpy ride. But it was a year that put the three major indexes led by the tech heavy NASDAQ on track to register double digit percentage gains. Stocks on the move on Friday included NVIDIA, which gained 1% after the AI chipmaker agreed to license chip technology from startup Groq and hire its CEO. Shares of Target rose more than 3% after the Financial Times reported the retailer is facing activism from hedge fund Toms Capital Investment Management, which has made a significant investment in the company and US listed shares of precious metal miners such as First Majestic, Coeur Mining, and Endeavour Silver advanced as silver and gold prices touched fresh record highs.
