The stock market rallied on Friday in the wake of the Supreme Court's decision overturning Roe v. Wade, with all three major Wall Street indexes snapping monthlong losing streaks.
The Dow Jones spiked early in Friday's session just as the Supreme Court announced its groundbreaking ruling. It remained strong and rallied into the close up more than 800 points, capping off the first week of gains this month. Both the S&P 500 and Nasdaq posted gains on Friday of about 3 percent.
U.S. stocks rallied into the close on Friday with all three benchmarks finishing near their highs of the session. Stocks posted their first weekly gain in three weeks.
