Dow Jones Industrial Average rises 6 points

S&P 500 extends weekly win streak to 5

The S&P 500 posted its fifth straight weekly gain while the Dow rose for a third consecutive week. The Nasdaq, meanwhile, notched its sixth straight weekly gain. The major averages also hit record highs this week as sentiment around U.S.-China trade generally improved. Better-than-expected earnings from companies such as Disney and Qualcomm also contributed to the weekly gains.

Earlier in the week, multiple reports suggested China and the U.S. were ready to scrap tariffs as part of a phase-one deal.
