“The S&P 500 is on track for its eighth straight weekly gain.”
DISPUTED
Evidence is contradictory. One source states the S&P 500 just completed its 7th straight up week, another says if the week ends positive it will be the 7th, and a third claims the Nasdaq achieved its 8th while the S&P 500 advanced 2.6% for the week. There is no consistent confirmation of an 8th straight weekly gain for the S&P 500.
