DOW Snapshot from previous trading session

"Stocks closed near session highs Friday, with the Dow erasing its losses for the year, as investors welcomed a better-than-expected report on the U.S. job market. The rally pushed the Dow back into the black for the year. At roughly 10,448 points, the index is up nearly 0.2% since it closed at 10,428 points on Dec. 31. All three major gauges ended the week with gains. The Dow added 2.9% this week, while the S&P 500 rose 3.7%, and the Nasdaq advanced 3.7% over the last five days. It was the first weekly gain for all three gauges in three weeks." [Source: cnnmoney.com]
