S&P 500 ends down week with flat session, semis fall

NEW YORK: The S&P 500 closed flat on Friday but ended lower for the week, with investors cautious ahead of a meeting in Europe that could decide whether Greece will default on critical loans.

The Dow closed higher, boosted by strong results from component Nike Inc, while the Nasdaq ended solidly lower on disappointing results from Micron Technology Inc, which weighed on chipmakers like Intel.
