US close: Dow Jones extends post-Fed decision winning streak

(Sharecast News) - Wall Street stocks delivered a mixed performance on Friday following the previous session's strong rally. At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was up 0.09% at 42,063.36, while the S&P 500 lost 0.19% to 5,702.55 and the Nasdaq Composite saw out the session 0.36% weaker at 17,948.32.

The Dow closed 38.17 points higher on Friday, modestly extending gains recorded in the previous session as investors cheered the Federal Reserve Bank's decision to cut its base overnight interest rate by half a percentage point.

In terms of Friday's headlines, Nike revealed that chief executive John Donahoe had suddenly stood down from the role, while shares in logistics giant FedEx traded lower after it trimmed full-year earnings and revenue guidance.

No major data points were released on Friday.
